When a master volume's last snapshot is deleted, automatically convert the master volume to a standard volume and delete the snap pool. delete-priority standard-snapshot|volume-copy-snapshot |replication-snapshot|replicating-snapshot|common-sync-point-snapshot |only-sync-point-snapshot|queued-snapshot Optional.
