Mappings: Remove delete mapping API

Deleting a type from an index is inherently dangerous because the type can be recreated with new mappings which may conflict with existing segments still using the old mappings. This removes the ability to delete a type (similar to how deleting fields within a type is not allowed, for the same reason). closes elastic#8877 closes elastic#10231

 === Mappings
 
 * The setting `index.mapping.allow_type_wrapper` has been removed.  Documents should always be sent without the type as the root element.
+* The delete mappings API has been removed. Mapping types can no longer be deleted.
 
 ==== Removed type prefix on field names in queries
 Types can no longer be specified on fields within queries.  Instead, specify type restrictions in the search request.
