pyonepassword 3.6.0: now with multiple item deletion

Hey there fellow CLI users. Apologies for the crosspost. I wanted to share the release of pyonepassword 3.6.0.

In response to a question posted here, I've added the ability to delete multiple items from a vault in one method call. It's much faster than looping over a list of items, deleting one at a time.

In addition to a mandatory vault argument, you may optionally select items for deletion by tags, item category, and/or a name-matching glob pattern. (the glob pattern follows the same rules as fnmatch())

Under the hood this method deletes items in batches defaulting to 25 items. So a request to delete 100 items, would, behind the scenes, delete those items in four passes. This is tunable by a kwarg in case users see performance benefits with smaller or larger batches.

Here are some examples:

```python
from pyonepassword import OP

op = OP()

vault = "Test Data"

delete all items from vault "Test Data"

op.item_delete_multiple(vault)

delete all items tagged 'tag_1' or 'tag_2'

op.item_delete_multiple(vault, tags=["tag_1", "tag_2"])

delete all items of category "server"

server arguments may be any argument accepted by 'op item list --categories'

op.item_delete_multiple(vault, categories=["server"])

Delete all items matching glob pattern "My*Login", including:

- My New Login

- My Old Login

- My Spiffy Login

op.item_delete_multiple(vault, title_glob="My*Login")

Delete all items from the vault, including previouly archived items:

op.item_delete_multiple(vault, include_archive=True)

Delete all items from the vault, moving them to the archive

rather than permanently deleting

op.item_delete_multiple(vault, archive=True)

Delete items in batches of 40, rather than the default of 25

op.item_delete_multiple(vault, batch_size=40)
```

Hope people find this useful! Let me know if you have any questions, and don't hesitate to file GitHub issues on any problems or feature requests.

Cheers,
Zach
