More user friendly yes/no prompt in `verdi computer delete` about aiida-core HOT 4 OPEN

This was discussed in the PR that changed it. As you can see, the original proposed string was SuRe which I opposed. I am personally also simply for [y/N] (the capitalizad N is just to show that that is the default I believe). We compromised and settled on yes/N as @khsrali @GeigerJ2 and @giovannipizzi thought it dangerous to keep just y.

So the idea here was that deleting a computer doesn't only delete the isolated computer. To keep provenance, it also deletes all the connected nodes, so all processes of a user that were run on this computer. So it's an operation that should only be done with great care. Personally, I'd also be fine with [y/N] as that is usually the standard. The fear was that people just quickly pressing through things might accidentally run the operation somewhat unintentional, though, that should be captured with [y/N]. Don't really have a strong opinion on the topic, for me either is fine. Ideally, as always, I'd vouch for consistency.

I'm ok with the original suggestion and generally keeping a consistent style across verdi commands, as long as the default stays N

We thought perhaps using a different response than the usual "y" would make sense to prevent accidental data loss.
As @sphuber said, we compromised to "yes". But if @agoscinski thinks that is confusing regarding standardization, one could replace with "please type: 'confirm deletion' ", like when github asks you when deleting your repo.
This way remain both safe and standard.
