Content/Channel Deletion Task: force_delete not forcing deletion

[nucleogenesis]

Observed behavior

• Have two channels imported into Kolibri which share resources. (ie, create a new Studio channel, copy-paste content from another channel to it, publish your channel, import it along w/ the channel you copy-pasted from).
• Go through process of deleting a resource from one of those channels, click the "delete from all other locations" checkbox on the "Delete" modal
• See that the resource is successfully deleted from the channel where you did the deletion, but it remains in your other channel nonetheless.

Expected behavior

Clicking the "remove from everywhere" checkbox should result in the content being removed from all channels in which it has been imported.

More like - when force_delete is sent when creating the deletechannel task, it should remove that content from all channels.

User-facing consequences

User is given an option which doesn't do anything when selected.

Context

Found while fixing regression causing the checkbox itself not to toggle when clicked (#12589) -- but that is unrelated to this particular issue, just how I stumbled across it.

• Kolibri release-v0.17.x devserver
• Fedora 40
• Chromium
