Adds a GDPR endpoint to the OpenVSX API that allows for admin level tokens to request for users to be forgotten. Rather than deleting users, this request will scrub all PII from the existing user records to erase any potential leak of private information. This is done to best retain things like reviews and other user actions within the system while abiding by GDPR requirements. These deletion requests do not remove or modify any of the internal logging that already exists as there is a business need to retain that type of data, which will have it's own retention policy that will eventually purge those records.
