Payment Methods: Re-activates a stored-but-inactive payment method for the merchant.
POST
/api/merchants/{id}/billing/payment-method/{paymentMethodId}/activate

Requires: MerchantBilling.PaymentMethods, MerchantBilling.PaymentMethods.Manage, merchant scope.
Only one method may be active per merchant, so the currently-active method is soft-deactivated as part of this call. The chosen method is activated first, so the merchant never passes through a zero-active state.

429 The request was refused because a rate limit was exceeded, or because something a later retry can clear stopped it. A rate limit refusal carries an `application/problem+json` body: wait at least the interval `Retry-After` names before retrying, then back off. Limits are tuned per deployment, so read the allowance from the response headers rather than assuming a fixed ceiling. Any other refusal carries the standard error envelope as `application/json`, and its `error.code` names the cause.
