 It's sometimes desirable to allow users to trash posts but not permanently
 delete them once trashed, nor empty the trash.

 There should be a meta capability, `trash_post|trash_posts`, which by
 default maps to `delete_post|delete_posts` which is used when a post is
 trashed instead of deleted. This would allow a plugin to grant a user the
 ability to trash posts but not permanently delete them.
