Notes:

The method first checks if the order exists in the database.
It then verifies if the signer attempting to cancel the order is the original offerer.
Once validated, the order is marked as inactive in the database and a cancellation timestamp is added.
A message is published to orderbook subscribers indicating the cancellation.
