After deleting all contacts in the current view (also All ABs or search results), display pane still showing deleted contacts

Seen on 102.0 and 104.0a1 (2022-07-02) (64-bit)

STR

1. select all contacts in current AB view / All Abs / search results
2. press DEL key to delete them and confirm deletion

Actual

• display pane still showing deleted contacts
• no useful focus after deletion

Expected

• clear display pane
• for blank AB, could perhaps focus 'New contact' button? Otherwise the search box I guess.
• for empty search results, focus search box?
• In a dream world, I would expect an inline notification "5 contacts deleted - undo". But then, we don't have undo for delete contact yet. That's Bug 94407.
