Detach floating IP from VM

Detach a floating IP from a VM. A reserved IP returns to your reserved pool and continues to be billed until you release it via DELETE /api/v1/ips/{id}/reserve. An auto-assigned IP is released back to the shared pool. Use the nic_id from GET /api/v1/vms/{id}/networks. If you detach the VM's primary IPv4 while other IPv4s remain attached, the lowest-numbered remaining IPv4 becomes the new primary.
