Soft delete unused scripts,views and other resources via Decommissioning

Ignition projects that run for years pile up resources — many of them duplicates or unused. The problem is there's no safe way to know if a resource is really unused, so deleting one that's still active can suddenly break the project, which stops people from cleaning up at all. To fix this, we propose letting users decommission a resource before deleting it. In the Designer, users could right-click any resource and mark it as Decommissioned; it stays fully active, but any access to it is now logged. A new "Decommissioned Resources" tab in the Gateway would show every call made to these resources, giving clear visibility into whether they're still in use. If no calls appear over time, the resource can be safely deleted; if they do, it's proof it's still needed.
