Do not use parallel deletes to avoid random I/O (#6178)

The current code for deleting 1000 objects simultaneously
causes significant random I/O, which on slower drives
leads to servers disconnecting in a distributed setup.

Simplify this by serially deleting and reducing the
chattiness of this operation.
