sf org delete scratch also deletes sandboxes

[dschibster]

Summary

Using the sf org delete scratch command while using a Sandbox as your default org will also delete the target org even if it is not a scratch org.

Steps To Reproduce

• Auth with a Sandbox (Full, PC or Dev does not matter)
• Set it as target org in VS Code
• Use org delete scratch command

Expected result

Report back that I am not able to delete a Sandbox with the delete scratcg command

Actual result

Org gets deleted

Additional information

Wondering why there even are separate commands if there is no failsafe for sandboxes getting deleted with scratch command.

Thanks @dschibster for bringing this up - I agree that org delete scratch shouldn't delete sandboxes. I'll get this on the backlog
