Requires express quotations to be enabled in the task’s current project. Returns 403 when disabled.

Soft deletes the quotation by setting the `deletedAt` timestamp. Deleted quotations are excluded from listings and cannot be used for billing.

**What happens when a quotation is deleted:**
- The quotation is marked as deleted (soft delete)
- It will not appear in quotation listings
- It cannot be accepted, rejected, or sent via email
- If this was the accepted quotation, the task's `hasAcceptedQuotation` flag is cleared
- Historical data is preserved for audit purposes

**Note:** This is a soft delete operation. The quotation data remains in the database but is hidden from normal operations. Deleted quotations cannot be restored through the API.
