Delete a subscription line

Soft-deletes one line.

There is no permanent delete and no restore verb: a line comes back by being re-created through `POST customer-subscriptions/{customer_subscription}/items`, or by restoring the subscription it belonged to. Because this is a soft delete, invoice rows a past renewal generated from the line keep pointing at it. Removing the last line of a subscription is allowed, but that subscription can no longer be invoiced: its next renewal run logs a failure instead of producing an invoice. Re-deleting an already-deleted line answers `204`, so a retry is safe.

## Parameters
- subscription_item (integer, path): The SubscriptionItem's numeric id. Accepts a soft-deleted record.
- X-Request-Id (header, optional): A correlation id of your own. It is recorded in our logs next to the server's request id but never returned: the response header always carries the server's id. A value that does not match the pattern is discarded silently, never rejected.
- If-Match (header, optional): The ETag a write is conditional on. A stale validator is 412 precondition-failed.

## Response 204
