Remove a VPS disk limit

DELETE /api/v2/vps/{id}/disk-throttle

Lift the disk speed limit that was set on the VPS because of heavy disk use. The disks get their normal speed back. The limit is set again if the heavy use goes on. Read diskThrottle on GET /api/v2/vps/{id}/details first. The third write limit within 30 days cannot be removed here (diskThrottle.removableByCustomer is false). The call then answers 403 disk_throttle_requires_support. Support lifts it after a review. A VPS without a limit also answers 200, with alreadyRemoved: true. A 502 means the disk settings could not be restored. The limit is still in place and you can try again.
