<#
.SYNOPSIS
    Deletes an article from the connected Hudu instance.
 
.DESCRIPTION
    Deletes the article with the given ID via the connected HuduClient (see Connect-Hudu).
    Returns $null instead of throwing when the ID doesn't exist, since Hudu responds with an
    HTTP 404 in that case. Supports -WhatIf/-Confirm, with a 'High' confirm impact since deletion
    is irreversible.
 
.PARAMETER Id
    ID of the article to delete. Accepts pipeline input by property name.
 
.EXAMPLE
    Remove-HuduArticle -Id 123
 
    Deletes the article with ID 123, after confirmation.
 
.EXAMPLE
    Get-HuduArticle -CompanyId 5 -Draft $true | Remove-HuduArticle -Confirm:$false
 
    Deletes every draft article belonging to company 5 without prompting.
 
.OUTPUTS
    None
