Description

I want to be able to delete! from a plot by series index or label, and possibly the no-arg version will delete all series (could possibly use empty! for that one).

Research direction
The issue requests adding destructive methods like `delete!` and `empty!` to remove series from a plot. To implement, investigate the internal series storage in Plots.jl, likely in the `src/` directory. Check existing methods for adding series to understand the data structures. Review any linked comments (none visible) for additional context. Ensure the new methods follow Julia's mutating convention and update the plot state appropriately.
