Add a recycle bin to Cloud Pak For Data user interface

In Cloud Pak for Data assets can be deleted in Projects, Catalogs, Spaces, ... Once they are deleted, you can no longer restore them via the user interface.

However, using the Watson Data API there is the possibility to see, delete and restore all assets in the trash for Projects, Catalogs and Spaces (https://cloud.ibm.com/apidocs/watson-data-api-cpd#gettrashcontentsnewv2). So the functionality of a recycle bin is available in CP4D, but only through the APIs.

Not everyone uses the Watson APIs and it would be useful if the functionality of the API trash could also be used via the user interface, such as the Recycle Bin in Windows.
