> WASB: delete recursive should not fail if a file is deleted

> FileSystem.delete(Path path) and delete(Path path, boolean recursive) return
> false if the path does not exist. The WASB implementation of recursive
> delete currently fails if one of the entries is deleted by an external agent
> while a recursive delete is in progress. For example, if you try to delete
> all of the files in a directory, which can be a very long process, and one of
> the files contained within is deleted by an external agent, the recursive
> directory delete operation will fail if it tries to delete that file and
> discovers that it does not exist. This is not desirable. A recursive
> directory delete operation should succeeed if the directory initially exists
> and when the operation completes, the directory and all of its entries do not
> exist.
