registry delete

registry delete allows command-line users to delete contents of a registry.

WARNING: deletes are "hard" deletions: there is no undo.

registry delete PATTERN will delete all resources with names matching PATTERN, but if any of those resources have child resources, their deletion will fail unless the --force (-f) flag is also specified.

For example, the following deletes all of the artifacts with id vocabulary from the currently-configured project:

$ registry get apis/-/versions/-/specs/-/artifacts
