This is part of the API so if we were going to allow non-admins to query 
for deleted servers using status=deleted, it would have to be a 
microversion change. [1] I could also see that being policy-driven.

It does seem odd and inconsistent though that non-admins can't query 
with status=deleted but they can query with deleted=True in the query 
options.

This seems like a bug. I tried looking for something obvious in the code 
but I'm not seeing the issue, I'd suspect something down in the DB API 
code that's doing the filtering.
