Deleting Workitems from Azure DevOps to Agility

Agility Sync introduces a a new feature that ensures seamless synchronization between Agility and Azure. When a work item is created in Agility and synced to Azure, the user can delete the work item from Azure, this deletion automatically syncs back to Agility, removing the corresponding work item from Agility as well. The deletion functionality works bidirectionally, so deleting a work item in Agility syncs and deletes the corresponding work item in Azure.
