After the publication to live, deleted objects are not removed from search index

This bug was caused by LPS-50379, we are disabling indexing system during Staging process and after that:

• We only reindex the objects that we have published from staging to Live
• All deleted objects at Live are not deleted from index

Steps to reproduce

1. Create a site and activate Staging local
2. Create a vocabulary called "Voc1" with a category called "Cat1"
3. Create a tag called "Tag1"
4. Create a webcontent and a document at document library and categorize them with both "Cat1" and "Tag1"
5. Create a page and add to it the search portlet
6. Publish all this objects to Live
7. At search portlet execute a search at Staging and Live side with "Cat1" and "Tag1"
   • Output: both webcontent and document will be displayed
8. Delete both webcontent and document
9. Publish publish again from Staging to Live. Only deletions of both objects should be published at Live
10. At search portlet execute a search at Staging and Live side with "Cat1" and "Tag1"
    • Staging behaviour: Cat1/Tag1 will not display any result at search and all counters at left will display zero values
    • Wrong behaviour at Live: Cat1/Tag1 will not display any result at search but all counters at left will display non-zero values
      
    • Correct behaviour at Live: Live search should have same behaviour than Staging

Additional note: You can also verify this wrong behaviour connecting to Lucene / Elastic Search index and verifying that objects are not deleted there.
