 Currently the user capability required for restoring a trashed post or
 permanently deleting a trashed post is `delete_post`, which maps to
 `delete_posts`. There should be a separate capability for each of these
 actions.

 Suggestion:

 * `restore_trashed_post` which maps to `restore_trashed_posts` which maps
 to `delete_posts`.
 * `delete_trashed_post` which maps to `delete_trashed_posts` which maps to
 `delete_posts`.

 Emptying the trash should use the `delete_trashed_posts` capability.

 This allows for more granular control over which users can or cannot
 restore or permanently delete posts.
