Subject: [PATCH] Add spring.data.rest.return-body-on-delete configuration
 property

This commit adds the missing returnBodyOnDelete property to
DataRestProperties, completing the symmetric configuration for
controlling response body behavior across all CRUD operations.

The property maps to RepositoryRestConfiguration.setReturnBodyOnDelete()
which was added in Spring Data REST 4.1.
