Description
One thing that has occasionally come up is that we'd like to be able to reset an individual rate limit bucket with the admin tool.
This is just deleting a key in the redis bucket.
While we could do this "manually", it's somewhat challenging to figure out exactly the right thing to do, so a tool is useful here.
I don't think anything like this currently exists in Boulder, so I'm not sure what the right way we'd want to wire it up is.

No files, tests, or existing admin entry points are named. Start by locating Boulder’s admin tool and the Redis-backed rate-limit bucket implementation, then determine how commands are wired; done when one specified bucket can be reset through the tool.
