Support removing a data source from a case

Support removing a data source from a case.

This could be useful if a data source is accidentally added, and so 'pollutes' the other collected data artifacts, making it harder to review them.

Data sources can already be deleted from a case. http://sleuthkit.org/autopsy/docs/user-docs/4.19.0/ds_page.html#data_source_deletion

I see. Can hosts also be removed?

Yes if they do not contain any data sources. http://sleuthkit.org/autopsy/docs/user-docs/4.19.0/host_page.html#host_menu

Could a new "Remove Host" option be added, to remove a host and all contained data sources?
