Meta-Issue/Use Case: Delete Objects

[rosiel]

As a collection manager, I wish to delete (purge, remove) an Islandora Object completely, as part of the regular curation of my repository. This means deleting all information about that object, including revisions and history, and removing it from all indexes. This should also delete the Object's media and files. If content is in Fedora, it should be transparent whether it was deleted or whether other actions are needed.

As someone responsible for bulk content in the repo, I want to be able to delete by collection, or by the batch in which it was ingested ("ingest set" - specifically regarding Workbench.)
