Removes BarcodeB nodes with a specified attribute and their associated Sample nodes.

Source: R/processXML.R

This function takes an XML document, along with the name and value of an attribute, and removes the BarcodeB nodes that match the specified attribute. Additionally, it identifies the associated Sample nodes with the same name attribute as the removed BarcodeB nodes and removes them as well. These removals only occur if the sample/barcode node in question is not a control (e.g. IPC, NC, SC, Bridge, etc.)
