AngularJS MARC editor cannot delete/undelete authority records

[Galen Charlton]

The AngularJS MARC editor is not using the proper APIs to delete and undelete authority records, so attempts to delete/undelete them fail with no indication of why.

Although Evergreen 3.5 links to the Angular MARC editor from the 'Retrieve Authority Record by ID' menu item, the bug is still relevant for that version because Manage Authorities => {search results} => {edit a result} still brings up the AngularJS editor.

(Note that despite superficial appearances, the patch for bug 1845241 that I pushed today did _not_ cause a regression here; authority delete/undelete never worked in the AngularJS editor.)

I tested this bug and it does seem to delete and undelete authority records -- the "Delete record" button changes to "Undelete record" See AF#2 Kabalevsky, Dmitry Borisovich

However,

1) the bib record #4) is still linked to the AF record. If I click on the link to validate, the deleted record is no longer in the returned list.

2)when I undelete the authority record, the button changes to "delete record." Bib record #4 is still linked but, the AF record does not display in the list after validation attempt.

TO be sure, I checked several times and clicked "save changes" after deleting and undeleting. I also cleared the cache.

I am working in FIrefox on the test server https://butternut.evergreencatalog.com
