Description

When deleting a top level note, the user now receives a helpful warning that the replies will also be deleted:

(since #72737)

However, when a user deletes one of the replies to a note, the subsequent replies are not deleted. Unfortunately the same dialog message is used and it implies that they will be:

delete.replies.for.reply.mov

We should update the logic to remove the part about deleting replies when the note being deleted is a reply itself.

Step-by-step reproduction instructions

  1. Add a note
  2. Add a few replies to the note
  3. Delete one of the middle replies
