Delete template

Permanently delete a message template.

Without language this deletes every language variant of the name (Meta's own contract for deletion by name). Pass language to delete one variant only; the response scope says which happened. Meta keeps a deleted approved template in PENDING_DELETION for a while and the name cannot be reused for 30 days.
