Update label inference to remove orphaned subtypes
What does this MR do and why?
Per #997 (closed)
closes #1003 (closed)
We want to reduce type / subtype label inconsistencies by deleting orphaned subtype labels if type label is changed / removed.
Expectations:
-
when a new type label is added while a previous type label is removed, we want to remove all conflicting subtype labels
-
when a type label is removed, we want to remove all subtype labels associated with that type since they have become orphaned
-
When a subtype label is removed, we do nothing.
