**What this does:**
Soft deletes a catalog product. The product is marked as deleted but not permanently removed from the database. This allows for data recovery if needed.

**Important:**
- Only catalog products can be deleted through this endpoint (products without projectId or taskId)
- Products that are assigned to projects or tasks cannot be deleted here
- The product must exist in your workspace

**After deletion:**
- The product will no longer appear in the product catalog list
- It will not be available for selection in projects, tickets, or quotes
- Historical data (e.g., invoices that used this product) remains intact

**Response:**
Returns a success confirmation.
