Archive a question

questions.archive(strquestion_id) -> Question
DELETE/v5/questions/{question_id}

Soft-delete a question by setting its archived_at timestamp.

This is not a permanent delete: the row is retained and can be brought back with the restore endpoint. Once archived, the question is excluded from list results by default (unless include_archived is set) and can no longer be updated until it is restored. The archived question is returned in the response with its archived_at populated.
