Allow trashed events to be deleted and at the same time prevent them from orphaning other data records GDPR

See original Codebase ticket:
https://events.codebasehq.com/projects/event-espresso/tickets/9009

This has come up in the forums and I think there's some room for improvement when it comes to making things easier for event managers.

Steps to reproduce:

1. Set up an event and assign some people CPTs to the event, save the event.
2. Trash the event
3. Go the trashed events view in the wp admin list table
4. check the box next to the event
5. select the Delete Permanently action and click Apply

Result is you'll see some errors that say you can't delete the event. So now you have to go and restore the event from the trash, then you have to edit the event, and remove all of the relationships to things like People CPts. Then trash, then you can permanently delete.

Can we change the above so the relationships automatically get removed so all they'll have to do is trash then delete the event?

Hey Seth ya this sounds like an important feature for allowing admins to clear out old events, but I'm not sure why this is categorized as a security issue.

Oops. Didn't mean to do that. I updated the category to GDPR.
