Improve 'mmvdisk filesystem delete' behavior

When deleting a vdisk set from a filesystem the command is: mmvdisk filesystem delete --file-system udata --vdisk-set VS2
It responds with:mmvdisk: This will run the GPFS mmdeldisk command on file system 'udata'
But it does NOT say what it is going to delete
To delete a whole filesystem the commands is:mmvdisk filesystem delete --file-system udata

These commands are logically too close together. One mistake and the customer will lose all their data.

Potential solution 1:
Have the command report _what_ it going to delete before it waits user confirmation, not after that point.
Potential solution 2:
Move the deletion of vdisksets to the mmvdisk vdiskset command
so: mmvdisk vdiskset delete --vdisk-set {all | [VsName[,VsName]} and add an --filesystem option to signify that the user wants to delete that vdiskset from that filesystem.
