Create Cloud VPS PAYG deployment

Create a pay-as-you-go Cloud VPS deployment. This is the PAYG creation endpoint, not the regular fixed-cycle VPS order endpoint. name must be 3-63 characters using letters, numbers, and hyphens; region is required. Use GET /api/v2/vps/payg/deployments and GET /api/v2/vps/payg/limits first so an assistant can confirm actions.canDeploy.allowed, choose a valid region, and stay within account limits. The returned vpsId is managed afterwards through the standard /api/v2/vps/{id} operational endpoints.
