Cannot delete device group in Panorama 7.1.

[dmitryintel]

Description

A panorama xml api call to delete a device group is fairly obvious from the documentation. It has been tested and passes consistently with Panorama 8.0.

Use xpath /config/devices/entry[ @name=\"localhost.localdomain\" ]/device-group/entry[ @name="MyDevGroupName"], type=config and action=delete parameters with your API call.

It does not work with Panorama 7.1, however. This may be a bug in panorama.

Expected Behavior

Should be able to delete a device group.

Actual Behavior

With 7.1, the API call returns with status success, yet when you go to Panorama, the device group is still there.

Steps to Reproduce

In PANManagerDeviceApiIntegrationTest under this project, uncomment deleteVSSDevice call and run the test.

Make sure PANORAMA_IP points to a configured Panorama 7.1 installation. (e.g. 240.15)
Go to the web UI and observe that the device group is present.

Worse, you are not able to manually delete it either. As a workaround, it can be deleted manually if you rename it and commit first.

@dmitryintel , do we need to still follow this up, as i see it works for PAN 8.0? is this blocking? Please confirm and based on this we can request for support from PAN.
