[EW] Add confirmation step before delete action in outline UI #1285

Description

@mhaack

Description:

Undo functionality for reorder/delete works well, but the delete (trashcan) action currently executes immediately on click with no confirmation step.

Problem:
The delete icon is only visible on hover, alongside reorder controls. This creates a risk of accidental deletion: a user intending to reorder an item can misjudge the click target and hit the trashcan instead, especially since the icon isn't visible until the pointer is already close to it.

Proposed solution:
Add a confirmation popup ("Are you sure you want to delete?") before the delete action executes, consistent with the pattern used in Universal Editor (UE). This should have minimal friction for intentional deletions (single confirm click) while preventing accidental data loss from misclicks.
