Spends one of the user's RegTail credits to unlock the full report for this plate for 30 days, then returns
the full report (as full_report does). Ask the user first, every time, and call this only after they agree; never
unlock on your own initiative or to answer a general question. A plate already unlocked costs nothing again.
Needs the user's RegTail account linked. With no credits left it unlocks nothing and spends nothing.
