Description

What is the need for this task.
The function mesh2d_delete_small_flow_edges_and_small_triangles raises several questions.

What is the task?
There was an explanation given in https://github.com/Deltares/dfm_tools/issues/812#issuecomment-2046910287 about mesh2d_delete_small_flow_edges_and_small_triangles. This function is also documented, but this is a bit less clear than in the issue comment. I suggest to slightly clarify this:
https://github.com/Deltares/MeshKernelPy/blob/ceba1501bd85ba56170a37665d4c5012019c614d/meshkernel/meshkernel.py#L997-L1004
It would also be good if sensible argument default vlaues are set or mentioned in the docstring.

Start in meshkernel/meshkernel.py at the documentation for mesh2d_delete_small_flow_edges_and_small_triangles, and compare it with the explanation in Deltares/dfm_tools#812. Clarify the function behavior and ensure sensible argument default values are set or documented; the docstring should answer the questions raised by the issue.
