 Similar to #43438 but instead of for personal data export, this is for
 personal data erasure.

 Like #43438, plugins (or core concerns) will need to be able to register
 callbacks which can erase (or at least anonymize) personal data (a "page"
 at a time) from where they've stored it. How much is processed by a
 plugin's exporter in the context of a page is up to the plugin but should
 target to finish in far less than PHP timeout on a typical host.

 When a plugin no longer needs more "pages" it indicates it is done with
 erasure in the same manner as in #43438.

 BTW - the rationale for ajax is to allow wp-admin to drive the process
 without timeouts that could occur on sites with lots of pages of objects
 to traverse.  As with #43438, the ajax exporter-by-exporter, page-by-page
 approach will also lend itself to REST API endpoints down the road.
