Added "deleting variables" scenario. PR read for review/merge if no other
issues raised. Thanks @ijokarumawak !

> There has been some confusion over why creating or modifying variables in a
> versioned flow do not trigger local changes in the flow.
> Will improve the relevant section in the User Guide
> (https://nifi.apache.org/docs/nifi-docs/html/user-guide.html#managing_local_changes)
> with the following clarifications:
> Modifying doesn’t trigger local changes because variable values are intended
> to be different in each environment. When a flow is imported to an
> environment, it is assumed there is a one-time operation required to set
> those variables specific for the given environment.
> Creating a variable doesn’t trigger a local change because just creating a
> variable on its own has not changed anything about what the flow processes.
> A component will have to be created/modified that uses the new variable,
> which will trigger a local change.
