[Repository] Deleting quickstarts and components documentation and checks

[jpvajda]

Relates to

JIRA: DEVEX-2231 - proposed

Background

In this PR #661 we had a change to delete a quickstart which lead us to this issue.

Currently the following deletion functionality is available.

• the removal of a dashboard or an alert via a deletion would remove it from the quickstart.
• the removal of an entire quickstart is not yet supported, since there's no corresponding mutation available for this operation.
• But we can manually delete the quickstart from the DB if necessary (using old fashioned SQL).

Acceptance Criteria

• [ ] Document the deletion process in our contributor guide to explain to contributors how deletions work.
• [ ] Add a label to a PR that is attempting to do this: quickstart deletion
• [ ] Any PR in which attempts to delete a quickstart's config.yml file or the entire directory would then have this labeled applied.
• [ ] follow up with DevEx on our approach due to the lack of a deletion mutation.

@jpvajda What should the check do? My first thought is that it should add a label to the pull request. I don't think a failed/succeeded check really helps this use case.

@aswanson-nr that could work, I think we just need to be made aware when an entire quickstart is being deleted.
