Delete Empty ADOMs

Empty ADOMs can now be deleted without un-assigning the Policy Packages assigned to the ADOM. Empty ADOMs can also be deleted without having to remove them from administrator's accounts. Once FortiGate devices are removed and the ADOM is empty, the ADOM can be deleted immediately.

The ADOM may still be referenced by administrator accounts or global policy packages, and the references may be not easy to be find and remove. The following message was shown in earlier versions:
