[IMP] documents: add trash folder

EnterprisemasterdocumentsHigh impact

Documents now has a dedicated Trash area for archived files, replacing the old archived filter and making recovery easier. Deleted folder contents move to Trash, archived items can be restored with their workspaces, and trashed documents are automatically removed after the configured retention period.

This commit introduces the following changes :

- Introduced a new Trash folder(fake folder) within the documents views.
  This folder is designed to contain any file that has been archived
  from any other folder.

- The archived filter has been removed. We now encourage users to
  utilize the Trash folder for this purpose instead.

- Documents that are archived will now be automatically deleted after a
  span of 30 days.

- When a user opts to delete a folder, the system will no longer offer
  the option to move its files to the parent folder. Instead, all the
  content from the deleted folder will be moved directly to the trash.

- In the event a folder is deleted, it will be archived and will no
  longer be displayed in the search panel. The documents from this
  folder will be relocated to the trash, and any child folders will be
  archived in the same manner.

- If a folder is archived and doesn't have any documents (be it active
  or inactive) linked to it, nor any child folder (that respect the same
  rules), the folder will be automatically deleted.

- When a document is restored from the Trash, and its original folder
  has been archived, the system will restore the folder as well. If this
  folder had a parent, it will be restored as its child. If not, it will
  be placed as a root folder.

- It's no longer possible to manually delete archived folders from the
  folder list view. This change was implemented since these archived
  folders might still have connections with archived documents in the
  Trash. As a result, the delete action has been made invisible for
  these folders.

- A new filter for archived folders has been added to the folder list
  views for better user navigation.

- It is possible to restore workspaces from the workspace list/form
  view. When restoring a workspace, all the documents and children
  folders linked to that workspace are restored as well.

Remark:
The Trash folder, labeled as a 'fake' folder, has been assigned an id="Trash".
It isn't linked to any specific model but is designed to allow the
search model to fetch inactive files. The decision to assign it an id="Trash"
was influenced by the searchPanel's requirement for unique rootIds.
