Delete run path deletes too much
Describe the bug When checking the delete run path checkbox in the gui, ert will sometimes delete too much, this happens when:
- Evaluate ensemble: it assumes that the starting iteration is 0, if it is used for an ensemble with another iteration, the delete will be wrong
- ES-MDA restart: it assumes that the starting iteration is 0, if restarting this will not be the case.
A backport should be made to version 10.1 where we disable the button, for main we should remove this feature and reconsider the implementation.
After discussing with users, the combination of Evaluate ensemble and delete run path is a quite powerful combination, it was hypothesized that without the delete run path functionality the rerun functionality would loose a lot of value, and a complete restart would be more likely.
On further discussion this feature should stay as is, bug the bug fix needs to be backported to version 10.1
