[Feature] Unassign facial recognition match

I have searched the existing feature requests, both open and closed, to make sure this is not a duplicate request.

The feature

I must insist that this is not a duplicate. I have read #5276 (similar request, but proposed "solution" to assign incorrect matches to a "new" face is undesirable), #5507 (only concerns unassigned faces), #5532 (I read the discussion, but I want to share a different use case), #4153 (closed PR on topic), #12460 (only concerns fixing incorrect matches), #19975 (Q&A question about the same missing feature).

I want to be able to use "Fix incorrect match" to remove the assignment. Not just reassign, but remove. Here is why:

My 3 month old is recognized as my 3 year old, and for the majority of photos I can batch fix the incorrect match by reassigning. The problem is when both of them appear in the same photo. These photos cannot be batch fixed, but after fixing the assignment in the majority of photos, I am confident that DBSCAN would be able to separate the two of them if only it was allowed to re-run on the problematic photos.

This should be relatively easy to implement, and worst case is that DBSCAN reverts the unassignment.

I'm pretty sure you're looking for this delete button?

Delete removes the face assignment box as far as I can tell, where "unassigning" would leave it assigned as an unknown person.

You can do it manually one photo at a time, 5 clicks per photo, but this doesn't scale particularly well.
