Remove deleted requirements when merging documents after ReqIF Export

See this idea on ideas.ibm.com

When frequently importing a ReqIF file with a document, which is updated in another tool, deleted requirements will not be deleted in DOORS after executing the merge mechanism.

According to the roundtrip scenario in chapter 7.4.3 the ReqIF Specification (https://www.omg.org/spec/ReqIF/1.2/PDF) (see scenario step 4.0 in the table), it is an intended use case that requirements can be deleted in the other tool and when importing the new reqif file with the missing requirements, the document should be updated correctly.

Although we are closing this request, it will be kept in IBM's ideas repository. We value your feedback and thank you for allowing us to partner with you in developing our products.
