Thanks, pushed to the master branch.

Two minor nits for the future:

 . please always mention the bug number in the commit log message
 . the NEWS entry should be marked with "+++" only if the new feature
   is described in the appropriate manual; otherwise it should be
   either marked with "---" (if it doesn't need to be in the manual),
   or not marked at all (which is a signal for the maintainers to
   consider documenting it at some future point).  This is explained
   at the beginning of NEWS.

Hello,

This is a patch to include a new variable that, when set to nil, makes dired kill buffers visiting deleted files without confirmation.

There are apparently some people interested in this:

https://emacs.stackexchange.com/questions/30676/how-to-always-kill-dired-buffer-when-deleting-a-folder

I read through the CONTRIBUTE file, but please let me know if something is wrong with the commit message and I can redo it.

Alex
