Support for GA4 version of user deletion request (working patch inside)

[zjuul]

Tried to do a bulk user deletion, but found out the API for GA4 works a tiny bit differently, and googleAnalyticsR does not work.

The below patch will make it work by adding an new allowed propertyType parameter to ga_clientid_deletion - and also handles the API response correctly.

It works on my local machine:

deletions <- ga_clientid_deletion(
  client_ids,
  ga4_propertyid,
  idType = "CLIENT_ID",
  propertyType = "ga4"
)

Got stuck updating the documentation, so this is a code-only patch. If you can include this functionality to the package, that would be awesome. Hope my code helps.
