Actually, we have implemented an 'Intance Recycle Bin' in our customized
dashboard via soft-delete. All intances being deleted would be put into
the 'Recycle Bin' to give a chance that it could be restored later if
needed. Instances which stay in 'Recycle Bin' for more than 24 hours would
be safely deleted. Also, instances in 'Recycle Bin' could be force-deleted
at any time admin would like to.

One problem for this function is how to display instances in the 'Recycle
Bin'. They are instances in the 'soft-delete' status, but we cannot filter
them out by status via nova-api, as 'deleted' and 'soft-deleted' are
mapping to the same status. So it really makes sense to sperate out the two
status in nova-api level.
