Story #8313

Updated by ipanova@redhat.com over 3 years ago

### Problem statement 

 1. There is no way to free some disc space because we do not allow repo versions removal from push repos. Deleting entire repo is not a viable option. 
 2. There is no way to delete certain repo versions if there is no longer need to keep them. 

 (Note: Orphan clean up is still expected to be run in order to remove artifacts from the fs.) 

 ### Solution 

 1. Enable DELETE on the push repo versions endpoint and allow removal of any versions except the latest one. 
     * might bring complexity in the logic. Add validation on the distribution update call to disallow repo_version update 
     * change in access policy 
 2. After each push operation remove all repo versions except the latest one. As a result each push operation will always result into one version. 
     * this approach will close forever the door for us for adding 'rollback' capabilities for push repos 
     * this behaviour might be considered as unwanted/confusing. Other operations like tag/untag/manifest removal will still produce a new version and will not clean up previous ones ( behaviour discrepancy) 
 3. Leave this to pulpcore which will introduce retain N repo-version option. For pulp container push repos by default there will retained only 1 version https://pulp.plan.io/issues/8368
