[Suggestion] Add an option to delete all existing entries to deleteContentType method

[aladage]

This is a request to add a deleteExistingEntries (boolean) option to the deleteContentType method. This option should default to false to prevent accidental content deletion.

Currently, if the deleteContentType method is executed on an environment and an entry is present, an error will be thrown and the migration will fail. Because we're using multiple Contentful environments and have automated migration scripting as part of our CI/CD workflows, this scenario will cause an entire deployment to fail, and can only be resolved by manually visiting all environments and deleting all entries before the CI/CD process has run.

It sounds to be an interesting idea.👍🏻
