As per the DASH HLD, we need to be able to delete certain 'parent' SAI objects even when they are still referenced: https://github.com/sonic-net/SONiC/blob/master/doc/dash/dash-sonic-hld.md#18-implicit-deletion-of-sai-objects
E.g. A DASH_OUTBOUND_ROUTING_GROUP may be referenced by one or more DASH_OUTBOUND_ROUTING_ENTRIES. We should be able to delete DASH_OUTBOUND_ROUTING_GROUPS even if related routing entries still exist. The SAI implementation will implicitly delete all routing entries when the routing group is deleted, which is why we need to ignore reference count for these specific objects when validation removal.
