    Delete group files and views when deleting groups (bug #913536)
    
    Most group data was not being deleted along with the group.  This
    patch ensures all group views and artefacts are deleted when a group
    is deleted, and that any views submitted to the group are released.
    Forums are deleted using the delete method of InteractionInstance, but
    this just marks the forum as deleted rather than wiping the data.

Title:
  Deleting a group doesn't delete its views and artefacts

Status in Mahara ePortfolio:
  Fix Committed

Bug description:
  See Kristina's comment on https://reviews.mahara.org/#change,972:

  "One thing I noticed though: When you have a group file in a personal
  portfolio page that file will still be available after you delete the
  group and all its files. Is that correct? There is no way to transfer
  that file into your own files area (except for downloading and re-
  uploading) as it in a way does not exist on Mahara anymore."

  It seems that in the database, group views, artefacts, and forum posts
  survive after the group has been deleted.  You can no longer access
  them directly, but as Kristina says, files will still be accessible if
  they were previously included in other views not owned by the group
  (but they can't be added to any new blocks).

  I think we should probably just delete all group stuff when the group
  is deleted.

  The other option would be to check whether the group is deleted before
  displaying group artefacts (this is what happens for views and
  forums).  I suppose the advantage of doing it that way is that we
  could one day allow people to restore deleted groups, if we thought
  that was worthwhile.
