Issue 35310 block folder delete when not empty (#35500)

## Summary

Cherry-pick of PR #35398 — blocks folder deletion when the folder
contains live content.

- Prevents deleting folders that contain live (published) content items
- Adds a configurable flag (`BLOCK_FOLDER_DELETE_WITH_LIVE_CONTENT`) to
enable/disable the guard
- Uses lazy initialization for the config flag

## Cherry-picked commits

- `839ed42` block-folder-delete-with-live-content
- `32e3936` Issue 35310: block folder delete when not empty
- `1a12d71` Use Lazy for folder delete config flag

Original PR: #35398

## Test plan

- [ ] Attempt to delete a folder containing live content — should be
blocked
- [ ] Attempt to delete a folder with only unpublished content — should
succeed
- [ ] Verify config flag `BLOCK_FOLDER_DELETE_WITH_LIVE_CONTENT` toggles
the behavior
