Subject: [PATCH] Optimize file reading in idstack-learnings-delete

This commit modifies `bin/idstack-learnings-delete` to stream through the learning files rather than loading the entire file into memory using `readlines()`.

The memory overhead is reduced significantly without impacting performance by doing an O(N) stream to find the index and another stream to write to a temporary file while skipping the removed line, before utilizing an atomic `os.replace` to replace the old file. Memory usage dropped by approximately 87% in tests with 1,000,000 rows.
