fix: Apply deletion permission checks when syncing with replace (argo…

…proj#14161)

Closes argoproj#14161

Sync with replace can be quite dangerous, but we currently allow it if the sync is allowed. Since sync with replace deletes resources and recreates them, it's reasonable to check deletion permissions for application and/or specific resources.

Let's cherry-pick this to 2.13.
