Move to trash or optional confirmation dialog when removing data

Description

It would be great if Duluge could use the trash if it's available when 'remove with data' is used. This could be specified as an option in the preferences (ie. 'Use trash when removing data'). There is a trash-cli tool that supports the freedesktop.org specification, and may be helpful in implementing this: http://code.google.com/p/trash-cli.

Alternately, maybe the 'remove torrent' item in the contextual menu could be split into two items: a regular 'remove torrent' item that requires no confirmation, and a 'remove with data' item that prompts the user to confirm before deleting data.

This is to prevent boneheads like me from deleting many gigs of data with a single errant click when they only meant to remove the torrent.

I think the optional confirmation dialog is the better idea.
