I have a directory with many children, and would like to remove them all. Currently I have to remove them one at a time, which is inconvenient, especially through the WUI. To close this ticket, add a method to [dirnode.py]source:src/allmydata/dirnode.py?annotate=blame&rev=3d771132a843a85578dc23a6cac55b4fae09fc64 named something like delete_multiple_children along with tests in [test_dirnode.py]source:src/allmydata/test/test_dirnode.py?annotate=blame&rev=bdfa7b377226ffb5a3c3f7b602e885772c900e04#L1800. (Probably just copy class allmydata.test.test_dirnode.Deleter to create your new class MultiDeleter.)

Then add controls to the WUI and the cli to unlink multiple children at once.
