Restores a soft-deleted bucket.
The original bucket metadata, including IAM policies, custom metadata, and tags, but excluding managed folders, is restored and the softDeleteTime and hardDeleteTime is cleared. No objects are restored. If a live bucket with the same name already exists, the bucket cannot be restored.
After the bucket is live again, the objects can be restored with the Objects:restore or Objects:bulkRestore APIs.
