Author: Deletion of timelines doesn't actually deletes timelines. #1141

Example collection: http://test.chronozoom.com/mkalygin Example API GET call for the content: http://test.chronozoom.com/api/gettimelines?supercollection=mkalygin&collection=mkalygin&start=-50000000000&end=9999

There is the only timeline in this collection, all children timelines were deleted by the author. However in the API call results we can see all previous timelines that were existing before, e.g.:

{ "__type": "TimelineRaw:#Chronozoom.Entities", "Height": null, "Regime": "Cosmos", "end": 0.0000000, "exhibits": [], "id": "7c046a1e-0d5f-45ae-a1f4-57327ac0e2dc", "start": 0.0000000, "timelines": null, "title": "Timeline Title", "ParentTimelineId": "bad5c71c-1e76-492d-ada4-a1ddec498aac" }

The deletion of timelines actually sets a width of timelines to zero, what potentially will cause slow performance of requests for the content.

I changed this issue type to minor even though it is nasty. The "Minor" label is for user impact - there is none unless vast amounts of data is forgotten in the system (Michael may have more information as he was worried about resulting poor performance)
