#5245: Relocate Trash folder and make it multiuser-ready

The current Trash implementation is somewhat less than ideal for several
reasons:
1) It requires the creation of /home/Desktop on every non-boot volume.
2) as a consequence of the first point it isn't really multiuser-safe.
A proposed alternative is to move the Trash folder to the root dir of each
volume, and have it segregated into per-user subdirectories. This will
require changes to find_directory() as well as Tracker's FSCreateTrashDir
/ FSGetTrashDir and probably DesktopDirEntryIterator. Note that if we want
the directory to be hidden when browsing the volume root, we will have to
re-enable respecting the fInvisible attribute of PoseInfo, which has
caveats for those multibooting with other BeOS variants as mentioned in
r35040.
