Make it easier to delete multiple or all workspaces

Problem to solve

Although workspaces eventually time out and stopped workspaces are getting deleted according to the garbage collection, sometimes a user would like to manually delete multiple or all workspaces regarding running status.

Proposal

TBD (To be discussed)

First MVC (Minimum Viable Change) could be to add replace the status indicator with a checkbox on hover so that users can select multiple workspaces and then click on the Delete button. Additionally, a checkbox at the top of the list to select all and delete all could be also helpful.

An early design spec could be the following:

Possible solution for multiple workspace deletion

Thanks for creating the issue @gtsiolis . I think adding a checkbox is better than replacing the status indicator with checkbox.
If we replace the status indicator, we are losing information from the dashboard that we initially used to qualify for action. If I accidentally click on an active ws, I have no way of verifying an active ws.

@gtsiolis Awesome this is on the fix it list now. I agree with @princerachit about not replacing the status icons.
A possible MVC approach here could be to have a 'Delete All Inactives' button that when clicked prompts the user in a modal before deleting all inactive workspaces.
