//  To delete a message, we'll need either the SequenceNumber or MessageId.
//  When the message was peek-locked, the SequenceNumber and MessageId of the locked message
//  was returned in the HTTP response header named "BrokerProperties, which contained
//  JSON such as the following:
//  
//  	{
//  	  "DeliveryCount": 1,
//  	  "EnqueuedSequenceNumber": 3000004,
//  	  "EnqueuedTimeUtc": "Wed, 07 Dec 2016 17:42:48 GMT",
//  	  "Label": "M3",
//  	  "LockToken": "6eeee205-e541-4cb6-95fb-4c81da5f6858",

//  The path for unlocking a message is constructed as follows, depending on
//  whether it is a message on a queue or subscription:

//  /{queuePath}/messages/{messageId|sequenceNumber}/{lockToken}
//  
//  (for a subscription)
//  /{topicPath}/subscriptions/{subscriptionName}/messages/{messageId|sequenceNumber}/{lockToken}
