Add endpoint for deleting a user's account

Like the title suggests, it would be nice to give users the ability to delete their accounts.

It could be done with minor changes to the UserView. Just replace RetrieveUpdateAPIView with RetrieveUpdateDestroyAPIView, I think.

Deactivation and account deletion will always be very specific to each project. Its not as simple as disabling or deleting a user. So I can understand that djoser would not offer it. However, in the same way that djoser offers activation with optional email confirmation required, perhaps it could implement a deactivation endpoint and view with email confirmation required as well (I imagine this would be a standard requirement across all projects. Obviously, with a caveat in the docs that all actions on user-specific objects, etc, have to be handled on a custom basis by the developer.

I still doubt that this will be implemented, as it would have to be, by definition, an incomplete endpoint - with users asking for all sorts of functionality after this. And you can already get this basic functionality with djoser’s existing password reset views. There are more pressing issues at the moment. JWT / OAuth, etc…

As a side-note, the best thing about djoser, is the lack of dependencies. I would be very concerned that by implementing user management, it would turn into a dependency nightmare like the django-rest-auth / allauth combination.

djoser is trying to provide a RESTish interface for authentication, not user management.

If djoser offers registration and activation, then it should offer deactivation, no?
