Digital Ocean Block Storage Actions API

Block storage actions are commands that can be given to a DigitalOcean Block Storage Volume. An example would be detaching or attaching a volume from a Droplet. These requests are made on the `/v2/volumes/$VOLUME_ID/actions` endpoint. An action object is returned. These objects hold the current status of the requested action.
