Description
In the legacy account view from edx-platform, it was possible to remove the possibility of account deletion by defining the ENABLE_ACCOUNT_DELETION feature flag. With new account MFE, this feature isn't implemented. We have a PR to add this functionality in account MFE, but we need to add this feature in backend also.

Research direction
Start in openedx/core/djangoapps/user_api/accounts/settings_views.py around line 142, then review the ENABLE_ACCOUNT_DELETION documentation and the referenced frontend-app-account PR for the intended behavior. Done means the backend supports disabling account deletion consistently with the legacy account view and the new Account MFE.
