Sets an **active** campaign's `status` to `paused` (pausing one that is already paused is a no-op; any other status returns `409 conflict`). Queued sends stop going out until resumed.

```bash
curl -X POST https://app.warmerly.com/api/v1/campaigns/b6a1e7b0-2f2b-4b7a-8e2a-1a2b3c4d5e6f/pause \
  -H "X-Api-Key: wmv_xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx"
```

```json
{ "campaign": { "id": "b6a1e7b0-2f2b-4b7a-8e2a-1a2b3c4d5e6f", "status": "paused", "...": "..." } }
```
