Also these API, which has owner with deleted account, has owner admin

@bajiat Notification about successful deletion has already done, #1787 issue
And what we do with APIs, which owner was deleted? Should we save these apis or not? Now notification doesn't have any word about "... all your apis data will be removed". There are "There's no coming back from this one" and "Are you sure you want to delete your account?"

@marla-singer @saralavanip I don't think we can automatically delete the APIs when the account is deleted. Someone else might be relying on them and using them. But I don't have a good answer on who should be mentioned as 'added by' in the catalog in that case. The only one who can manage those APIs are admin.

This is a really interesting case because we allow adding any APIs and you don't literally have to be their owner. We are not asking for proof of owning the APIs.

@bajiat Agree with you over all. So what do you think about adding the additional filter in Catalog or something else for Apinf Administrator, which will show the APIs without owner?

@brylie suggested adding a new flag 'orphan' as first step.

Added issue #1821.
