Refactor asset delete logic to use queues (based on discord discussion).

Asset delete should be soft
Cron job should queue assets that have been deleted X days ago
Queue should remove as asset from disk and then remove it from the database
The delete user cron should delete a user from the database that's been soft deleted and doesn't have any assets.
