Describe the user story

There is an "unofficial" way to destroy terraform dirs in Atlantis and by documenting this on the website it will make it official

1. Ideally, have a single enabled flag on every resource/module and toggle it to false and then run a directory/project specific plan & apply with --auto-merge-disabled
2. Or run a directory/project specific plan using atlantis plan -d/-p -- -destroy & apply with --auto-merge-disabled

After using either option above, update the pr to remove the terraform code (or inputs file), and merge.

In the future, this documentation can be expanded for the following workflows

1. targeted destroy
2. without workspaces
3. with workspaces (using inputs)
4. with terraform wrappers
   • atmos
   • terragrunt
