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.

All reviewers can help ensure accuracy, clarity, completeness, and adherence to the Documentation Guidelines and Style Guide.

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.
