Add warning to delete user and contribution docs

Drew Blessing requested to merge dblessing-clarify-user-deletion-docs into master

What does this MR do?

Fixes #213192 (closed)

Clarifies the documentation and adds a warning to https://docs.gitlab.com/ee/user/profile/account/delete_account.html. An admin in #213192 (closed) was confused by the documentation and understood that Delete user and contributions would not remove associated records.

With this change, there is not a danger box as well as accompanying clarifications in the associated records section.

1. Primary Reviewer

  • Review by a code reviewer or other selected colleague to confirm accuracy, clarity, and completeness. This can be skipped for minor fixes without substantive content changes.

2. Technical Writer

  • Optional: Technical writer review. If not requested for this MR, must be scheduled post-merge. To request for this MR, assign the writer listed for the applicable DevOps stage.

3. Maintainer

  1. Review by assigned maintainer, who can always request/require the above reviews. Maintainer's review can occur before or after a technical writer review.
  2. Ensure a release milestone is set.
  3. If there has not been a technical writer review, create an issue for one using the Doc Review template.
