Allow comment thread owner to delete comment threads when only comments from the comment thread owner remain undeleted

I realize that there's a handful of trickier cases, for example anything involving multiple users, but this particular case should be relatively straight-forward.

I propose that if the only undeleted comments in a comment thread are owned by the user who started the comment thread, then the user who started the comment thread should be able to delete the comment thread entirely, instead of just deleting their comments within it thus leaving the thread title in place as a blank stub.

This is fixed using the approach Mithical suggested in a comment: when the last comment in a thread is deleted, the thread is now automatically deleted.
