Description

I'd like if the filesystem time of deletion was accessible for TrashItem elements, as in windows the std::fs times are not in i64 UNIX timestamp but in u64 windows filetime, and calculating differences requires converting back and forth between the two formats

Contributor guide

Research direction
Examine the TrashItem struct and platform specific implementations in trash rs. Add a `deletion time` field of type `std::time::SystemTime` to TrashItem. Implement platform specific logic to retrieve the deletion time from the underlying trash storage (e.g., Windows FileTime, macOS .DS Store, Linux freedesktop.org trash). Ensure proper conversion between platform specific time representations and SystemTime.
