Deleting an entity needs to remove their data and deallocate their corresponding data. Deletion of an entity will also propagate deletions to archetypes who are its dependents as mentioned in #56.
Deleting an entity is not trivial and will scale with the number of archetypes depending on it, and it needs to be removed from the sparse set in a way that will keep the dense array tightly packed. This will require cycling entity ids with generations in mind and some liveliness check for each entity operation.
