 Deleting a site from the Network Admin -> Sites screen is the most
 destructive single action that a user can take on a WordPress
 installation.

 After clicking the `Delete` link the user is shown a screen requesting
 confirmation, but this screen doesn't convey the permanence of the action
 they're about to take.

 There is no trash or undo when deleting a site. It drops the database
 tables for the site, empties its uploads directory of all files, and
 removes the roles for that site from all users.

 Let's add an extra warning to this confirmation screen which explains
 this.
