[atlas] Problems deleting measurements

Hi Daniel!

Thanks for the info.

IMO https://atlas.ripe.net/doc/rest -> last paragraph: "Deleting a 
Measurement" should be renamed and extended with the text below.

And as I said, it would be nice to have an easy way to remove the 
measurements from the web interface (e.g. marking measurements with the 
"hide" flag, and in the web interface one can choose to see the normal 
view or also "show also hidden measurements"). This should be possible 
with REST too (setting/unsetting the "hide measurement" flag).

Thanks
Klaus
