 in changeset:31673 the `delete_site` action got it's own capability, but
 from what I tested it's not working.
 When the function `map_meta_cap` in `capabilities.php` stumbling upon
 `delete_site` capability it registers it as `manage_option`.
 That means that the condition `if(current_user_can( 'delete_site' ))` will
 always be falsey, because there's not scenario when `map_meta_cap` is
 producing it.

 The current (unwanted) behavior is when `delete_site` explicitly is given
 beyond the scope of the `administrator` role, the option is not shown in
 the admin menu, and when using the direct url `ms-delete-site.php` a
 permission error is shown.
