delete a set of detections from motus by adding records to the batchDelete table.

1 2	deleteFromMotus(src, reason = "not given", monoBN = NULL, tsStart = 0, tsEnd = 1e+11)

`src`	dplyr src_sqlite to receiver database
`reason`	character scalar giving reason for deletion, in human-readable form
`monoBN`	boot session number; required if an SG receiver; omit or set to NULL for a Lotek receiver.
`tsStart`	starting timestamp; if specified, only those batches containing at least 1 detection with timestamp >= tsStart are deleted
`tsEnd`	ending timestamp; if specified, only those batches containing at least 1 detection with timestamps <= tsEnd are deleted

detections are added or removed from motus in batches. For Lotek receivers, a batch is a sequence of all detections in a range of timestamps. For an SG receiver, a batch is additionally constrained to be within a single boot session. Boot sessions can cover multiple batches, however.

The batches deleted will be:

Lotek receiver: all batches satisfying the tsStart and/or tsEnd constraints, whichever are specified, are deleted. If neither tsStart nor tsEnd is specified, all batches for this receiver are deleted.
SG receiver: all batches with the specified monoBN and satsifying any specified tsStart / tsEnd constraints are deleted. If neither tsStart nor tsEnd is specified, all batches for this receiver and boot session are deleted.

TRUE on success; FALSE otherwise
