Remove Exists Check from S3 Repository Deletes (#40931)

* The check doesn't add much if anything practically, since the S3 repository is eventually consistent and we only log the non-existence of a blob anyway
  * We don't do the check on writes for this very reason and documented it as such
  * Removing the check saves one API call per single delete speeding up the deletion process and lowering costs
