Show "Delete" action on communities to KarlAdmin

[Paul Everitt]

We have a delete action on communities that works correctly. Adding "/delete.html" to a community URL brings up the confirmation screen. We simply need to make this action show up correctly for admins.

This isn't a bug, since this wasn't visible in KARL2 and deleting a community wasn't really a supported operation.

Moving this to next week (week of June 29). Shane, not that Jason reported that delete was pretty slow.

Fixed in revision 3389. NOTE: the community delete operation was already permitted for all moderators. Should we change it to only allow administrators to delete communities?

Also, about the speed of deletion: it's slow because every item in the community has to be removed from the catalog. The most likely way to speed it up is to delete asynchronously: return immediately from the UI and perform the actual deletion in the background. We haven't dived into async operations in Karl yet, so is it worth the extra effort?

How slow is it?

Probably proportional to the size of the community.

I think Jason reported in the original ticket that it was many seconds
for an essentially empty community.

Yes, I think the intent is to only allow administrators to delete
communities.
