Feature faiss delete (#8135)

<!-- Thank you for contributing to LangChain!

Replace this comment with:
- Description: docstore had two main method: add and search, however,
dealing with docstore sometimes requires deleting an entry from
docstore. So I have added a simple delete method that deletes items from
docstore. Additionally, I have added the delete method to faiss
vectorstore for the very same reason.
