Suppliers archive rather than delete, because products keep referencing their IDs.

Archiving relinks every product and variant that would be left without a supplier to the hidden Default, and
purges this supplier's per-supplier prices in the background. Repeating the call on an already-archived
supplier is a no-op, so a retry is safe. The hidden Default itself can't be archived.
