Delete LinkedIn Message

Delete a message you sent on LinkedIn, identified by its message_id from get_messages. LinkedIn only permits deletion within 60 minutes of sending, and the call fails if the message is not found or has already been deleted. Use it to retract a message sent in error before that window closes.
