Delete a Release through Release-CLI

Release notes

In this milestone we have added the ability to delete a release directly from the release-cli. This can be used for automating releases by updating any of the release attributes directly from the .gitlab-ci.yml file and leveraging the CI/CD pipeline to do so.

Problem to solve

As a user of the release-cli, I wish to be able to perform all release activities directly from the .gitlab-ci.yml file.

This issue tackles delete release, which can then be parsed to obtain a specific field, like description.

Proposal

The release-cli is a simple HTTP client that makes API requests, it would be great to extend it to interact with the rest of the Release API endpoints.

Extend the release-cli toDelete a release. Deleting a release doesn’t delete the associated tag. Maintainer level access to the project is required to delete a release.

DELETE /projects/:id/releases/:tag_name

Implementation guide

Add a Delete command to https://gitlab.com/gitlab-org/release-cli/-/blob/4f1425813377982df4b8001f256af949eb17f728/internal/app/app.go#L46 similar to existing Get command.
