Purge Backups on Site Deletion

Add a checkbox to the delete site feature to purge a site backup on deleting a site.

Right now, if you delete a site, you must first remember to purge the backup first. Otherwise, the data sits orphaned on the remote backup storage, taking up space.

I could not find it in the docs anywhere that this is mentioned, and believe many others might not realise that if you delete a site, the backup data is not removed as well automatically.

I understand right now it's done this way to avoid accidental deletion of the site. But for many, if we delete a site, we want everything deleted.

Remembering to manually purge data is a cumbersome and somewhat backward approach. Especailly if you are rotating servers and have to manually run this on 10-20 sites.

So would love to see an extra checkbox on site deletion to say yes, please wipe remote backups when deleting the site.
