GridField Bulk Delete

Introduction

Add a GridFieldBulkDeleteForm component to a gridfield config to add an option to delete the records within that list. By default, it allows to delete every records in the list. If there is more than 50 records (can be configured) and if QueuedJobs are available, a ququedjob will be created to process the deletion. The component can be configured to allow deleting records older than a certain period of time (eg: older tha 30 days).
