Cancel a pending erasure request
Cancel a still-pending contact-erasure request from the org-wide list, mirroring the cancel button on the contact-detail page. Only a pending request can be cancelled — once it starts executing the deletion is irreversible — so a request in any other state returns 409, and an unknown id returns 404. Owner/admin only.
