Cancel ongoing partition movements.

By default, this command cancels all the partition movements in the cluster. To ensure that you do not accidentally cancel all partition movements, this command prompts users for confirmation before issuing the cancellation request. You can use “--no-confirm” to disable the confirmation prompt:

```bash
rpk cluster partitions move-cancel --no-confirm
```

If “--node” is set, this command will only stop the partition movements occurring in the specified node:

```bash
rpk cluster partitions move-cancel --node 1
```
