Problem/Motivation

After generating a feature, a site admin may wish to delete it.

Proposed resolution

Add a new "Delete" generation plugin.
Since this is an exceptionally destructive action, so extend the generation plugin system to allow a confirmation step.

Remaining tasks

User interface changes

Adds a "Delete" button on the admin/config/development/features page.

API changes

Data model changes

Any thoughts?
