Add DELETE endpoint for bulk removal of large_image items

[arjunrajlab]

@manthey mentioned that @marySalvi is working on this code and might be able to implement it while working on it.

Summary

Add a DELETE large_image/folder/{id}/tiles endpoint to mirror the existing PUT large_image/folder/{id}/tiles endpoint, allowing bulk removal of large_image items from a folder.

Background

The existing PUT large_image/folder/{id}/tiles endpoint allows bulk creation of large_image items in a folder. However, there's currently no corresponding bulk deletion endpoint, requiring clients to iterate through items and delete them one by one using individual API calls.

Use Case

In our application, when uploading a new multi-source metadata file, we need to:

1. Upload a new JSON file that becomes a large_image item
2. Remove large_image status from all other items in the folder (or in some cases, all items, including the new one)

Currently, this requires fetching all items in the folder and making individual deletion requests with retry logic, which is inefficient and error-prone.

Proposed API

DELETE large_image/folder/{id}/tiles

Parameters:

• recursive (boolean, optional, default: false): Whether to recursively process subdirectories/subfolders
• exclude (array of item IDs, optional): List of item IDs that should be excluded from large_image removal

Response:

• Success/failure status
• Count of items processed
• List of any errors encountered

Example Usage

DELETE large_image/folder/abc123/tiles?recursive=false&exclude=xyz456

This would remove large_image status from all items in folder abc123 except for item xyz456, without recursing into subdirectories.
