Added Fix:
Enable /api/v1/blogs/{blog_id}/dislike endpoint to automatically remove existing like by the current_user before creating new dislike, and vice versa with the /api/v1/blogs/{blog_id}/like endpoint.
This is important if a user clicks the dislike button after already clicking the like button without first removing the like. Otherwise, the database will have unintended records of both like and dislike for the same user on the same blog.
