Unpublish and Delete Trigger

Often, within the context of a workflow process, there is a need to un-publish an asset before removing it from the system.

The DeleteAndUnpublish trigger can be used in place of the previous Delete trigger. When the asset in the workflow is not a publishable asset (template, symlink, stylesheet, block, reference), this new trigger performs a standard delete. However, when the asset is a "publishable" asset (file, page, folder) and has publishable destinations, the trigger attempts to un-publish the asset (and all child assets if it's a folder) from all destinations prior to removing it from the system.
