DRIVERS-3618 Require deleting orphaned GridFS file chunks - #1979

Conversation
Deleting a GridFS file now always deletes the chunks with the given files_id, even when no files collection document was deleted, so orphaned chunks are removed. Whether the file existed is determined from the delete result on the files collection, not from a separate query.

Deleting a GridFS file by id now always deletes the chunks with the given
files_id, even when no files collection document was deleted. This removes orphaned chunks instead of leaving them in the bucket, which was previously optional (MAY).The spec also now requires drivers to use the number of deleted documents reported by the delete command on the files collection to decide whether the file existed, instead of running a separate query.
