Revert a gap to an earlier version

POST /context/v1/gaps/{gap_id}/revert

Appends a new version holding the definition of to_version. History is never rewritten: the revert is one more journal entry. Reverting a retired gap to a version from before its retirement reopens it. A gap that has moved since base_version is a 409 gap_moved.

Requires the context:gaps scope.
