/api/v4/posts/:post_id/burn

Burn a burn-on-read post. This endpoint allows a user to burn a post that was created with burn-on-read functionality. If the user is the author of the post, the post will be permanently deleted. If the user is not the author, the post will be expired for that user by updating their read receipt expiration time. If the user has not revealed the post yet, an error will be returned. If the post is already expired for the user, this is a no-op.
