How much data to delete when deleting an entity.

Description
When you delete an entity, the annotations/metadata on that entity (table.entity_guid = $entity->guid) are deleted, but not the annotations/metadata that entity created for other entities (table.owner_guid = $entity->guid).
I don't see a reason to keep that information since it can't be resolved to an entity and would like to fix it in 1.8. Does anyone have use cases where this might break something?

(In [svn:8222]) Fixes #2918. Moved annotation/metadata delete functions from ElggUser to ElggEntity. When deleted, entities now correctly delete metadata they own as well as metadata on them. Removed uses of deprecated functions.
Note: See
TracTickets for help on using
tickets.
This is actually a bug in ElggUser with access controls. All metadata/annotations should be removed, so I'm fixing it.
