New payment cancellation behaviour

In the UK, Ireland and now Germany, payments can be cancelled up to, and at, the authorizing status.
Across all geographies, when you call the /cancel endpoint to attempt to cancel a payment, you now receive a 202 or 400 response depending on whether the endpoint could be called successfully. A 202 response means that we will attempt to cancel the payment, but does not guarantee that a payment will be cancelled.
The final outcome is communicated via webhooks: the payment may fail or execute as normal. If a payment cannot be cancelled, you now also receive a payment_cancellation_failed webhook to inform you of this.
