What the API does

• Finds the record from the rooms collection corresponding to the roomID passed [404].
• Ensures that uid corresponds to a record in the members field of that record with a status of accepted [403].
• If is_thread has a value of false, find the message being referenced in the messages field having the same value of messageID as that passed, else if is_thread has a value of true find that being referenced from the threads field [404].
• Checks that the senderID field of the found message has the same value as that of the uid passed [403].
• If is_thread has a value of false, set the value of the is_deleted field of the object from the messages field of the room corresponding to messageID to true.
• Else if is_thread has a value of true, set the value of the is_deleted field of the object from the threads field of the room corresponding to messageID to true.
