  Detailed Problem Description:
  
  If a content with a link is expired in WCM, when user tries to
  delete the site area that content is in, the user will be led to
  clear/replace the link on the site area which is incorrect
  behavior. expected behavior will be to prompt the user error
  message indicating that the user needs to delete the decendant
  of the site area, which in this case is the expired content,
  before the site area can be deleted.
  

Problem conclusion

• Problem Analysis:
  
  ContentServiceImpl class calls hasChildren() as part of a check
  before it deletes the site area. hasChildren(0 was calling
  CoreQueries.findSiteAreaAllChildren() which only finds only
  children that are published. Because the sitearea we are looking
  at has a child content that is expired, it will pass this check
  which it shouldn?t
  
  Failing Module: WCM - Web Content Management (General)
  
  Problem Solution:
  
  Change hasChildren() method to call
  CoreQueries.findSiteAreaNoDraftChildren() which returns both
  published and expired children.
