Archive files instead of deleting when using Connect/IBM Aspera with sync feature

async has a --keep-dir-local feature to archive files that are marked for deletion. It moves files to a specified directory instead of deleting them. This can be a great safeguard, since by default async propagates deletions and some customers want to be able to restore files from the archive folder in case something is accidentally deleted at local or remote.

Connect does not have this option exposed, even though we believe the parameter is available in the async library used by Connect.


This request is to expose up --keep-dir-local=DIR and --keep-dir-remote=DIR either in the UI of Connect/IBM Aspera, or being able to set it in an underlying config file.
