Delete orphaned notes from Elasticsearch index

What does this MR do?

We discovered at !55878 (merged) that there are sometimes orphaned commit notes. Since these are making it difficult to migrate as we can't set the permissions correctly for these and also since you can't actually navigate to a note on a deleted commit there is no point in keeping these in the index.

This change was extracted from a combined MR at !55883 (closed) so it could be merged independently from the migration with some minor changes to broaden it to all types of deleted notes.
