Blocks the full version of Bug 723841.

Reasoning: if we process a deleted folder before we process all of its deleted children, then the deletion will fail due to consistency constraints, and the sync as a whole will fail. We need to queue deletions (Bug 724739), and handle the case of a folder being deleted without all of its children being deleted (this bug).

This is nearly done (and also Bug 724739); just writing tests now.

Tests pass. Running a build to get some QA before I land this, because I don't want to have to back it out!

How do you delete a folder without deleting its children?

rnewman, please post the snippet you use to delete folder without touching its children.

ok, got that working (I think). Now, what am I looking for on the mobile device or in logs?

Thanks Ehsan!
