DELETE /api/v4/groups/{id} response changed from 204 to 202

BreakingBreaking change

This is a breaking change — integrations that rely on the affected behaviour will need updates before the change rolls out.

What changed

The DELETE /api/v4/groups/{id} endpoint's documented success response code changed from 204 (No Content) to 202 (Accepted), indicating the group deletion is now asynchronous. Clients that check for 204 on group deletion will see an unexpected 202 response. All other 204 response description changes are cosmetic (generic "Resource deleted" wording), and example value fixes are non-breaking documentation corrections.
