Blobstores API

Delete all blobs in the Buildpack cache blobstore

DELETE /v2/blobstores/buildpack_cache

This endpoint will delete all of the existing buildpack caches in the blobstore. The buildpack cache is used during staging by buildpacks as a way to cache certain resources, e.g. downloaded Ruby gems. An admin who wanted to decrease the size of their blobstore could use this endpoint to delete unnecessary blobs.
