Stops the key working at once.

`DELETE /user/api-keys/{id}`

## TL;DR

| Question | Answer |
|---|---|
| What does it do? | Revoke an API key. |
| What does it take? | `id` in the path. |
| What does it return? | Status 204 with no body. |
| What can go wrong? | `401` not signed in; `403` the request came from an origin that may not make changes; `404` no such key; `429` too many requests. Every failure uses the one error envelope. |
