Improve the prompt window when a requirement is deleted.

The use case:

In GC enabled PA, I've deleted a requirement from the DNG PA that has an association to ETM test case via Validated By link. When trying to delete, a confirm window was prompted that a requirement will be permanently removed.

The message in the prompt window indicates as if it would remove all the associated links. The user assumed it would also remove "validated by" links on the ETM test case. 

But in reality it would not remove the remote links (Validate Requirements links on the test case side)

Customer is asking to label the message in the warning window that removal of the requirement would leave a dead links on the test case if one was associated

If the message is clear, the user can take appropriate actions to avoid the dead (ghost) links issue.
