        Deny this attempt.

        Valid attempt statuses when calling this method:
            `submitted`, `approved`, `denied`

        Status after method completes: `denied`

        Other fields that will be set by this method:
            `reviewed_by_user_id`, `reviewed_by_service`, `error_msg`,
            `error_code`

        State Transitions:

        `submitted` → `denied`
            This is the usual flow, whether initiated by a staff user or an
            external validation service.
        `approved` → `denied`
            This might happen if a staff member wants to override a decision
            made by an external service or another staff member, or just correct
            a mistake made during the approval process. In this case, the
            previous values of `reviewed_by_user_id` and `reviewed_by_service`
            will be changed to whoever is doing the denying. The only record
            that this record was ever approved would be in our logs. This should
            be a relatively rare occurence.
        `denied` → `denied`
            Update the error message and reviewing_user/reviewing_service. Just
            lets you amend the error message in case there were additional
            details to be made.
