       This function shall delete documents in the given collection that match selector. The  bson  selector  is
       not  validated,  simply  passed  along  as  appropriate to the server.  As such, compatibility and errors
       should be validated in the appropriate server documentation.

       If you want to limit deletes to a single document, provide MONGOC_DELETE_SINGLE_REMOVE in flags.

       Errors are propagated via the error parameter.

       • collection: A mongoc_collection_t.

       • flags: A mongoc_delete_flags_t.

       • selector: A bson_t containing the query to match documents.

       • write_concern: A mongoc_write_concern_t or NULL.

       • error: An optional location for a bson_error_t or NULL.

       Returns true if successful. Returns false and sets error if there are invalid arguments or  a  server  or
       network error.

       A write concern timeout or write concern error is considered a failure.
