Delete segments whose min-max falls into the given time range

[wirybeaver]

Requirement: Delete segments within the timestamp.
Scenario: Delete massive number of segments in the PoC phase. The associate Kafka topic has high throughput.
Solution: Current segment deletion api requires user manually input segment list. We can add another api with the parameters fromTimestamp and endTimestamp. Then reuse the PinotHelixResourceManager' getSegmentsFor to get segment list and pass into the existing deleteSegments api.

Will raise a PR to implement this api

@wirybeaver : what does the "min-max" in the GH description referring to?

Side note: is it ok if we assign this issue to you?

cc @snleee Can you help guiding @wirybeaver to finish this feature? Make sure it works seamlessly with the future time based segment replacement

Yeah, I am good for the assignee. I already have a implementation in Draft state. Need to finish the unit test

Hi Jackie, I already have an draft implementation. I used the existing up-to-date interface of GetSegments(time_range), which should exactly works with the future time based segment replacement

the api is merged already
