Ability to reliably remove a series of content view versions

[wzzrd]

SUMMARY

In order to keep my Satellite / Foreman installation clean-ish, I would like to able to remove all versions of a (C)CV, except for the latest e.g. 3 versions.

from triage: "last 3 versions" is something that we could do on a role level, but we probably don't have enough features in the k_content_view_version module to cleanly remove a CV today, so this would need fixing (or at least proper testing) before such a role can exist.

I would welcome such a feature and can commit to testing (I have a CI pipeline at home that generates new versions regularly, so testing this RFE will be easy for me).

It would be also nice to have ability to remove any content view which does not belong to any environments.

@evgeni do you know if there's an upstream bug to katello for not having "de-promote" or "delete-from-lce" API call?

[evgeni]

I think that's mostly a feature so that you can only overwrite it by another version.

There is an API to remove a CV from an LCE (https://theforeman.org/plugins/katello/3.17/api/apidoc/v2/content_views/remove_from_environment.html) that I now used in #952

ah! content_views, not content_view_versions. Cool
