The requirement for an alias is arbitrary. There are many use cases where an alias is not able to be added to an account, or is pointless to do so. An example where it is a pointless requirement is when creating transient AWS sandbox accounts for development use, which must be destroyed.

This PR adds a feature flag which can be added to the
config.yaml
(delete-accounts-without-alias
) which skips the checks for an alias when deleting accounts.For anyone who wishes to use this feature flag for testing, you can install the fork by cloning github.com/stefanmcshane/aws-nuke, checking out

and runninggo install
Fixes #971
