Soft deletes a document template from the workspace.

**What happens:**
- The template is marked as deleted (soft delete)
- It will no longer appear in list queries
- It cannot be used for generating new documents
- The template data is preserved in the database

**Note:** This is a soft delete operation. The template is not permanently removed and can potentially be restored if needed. This endpoint requires the `DocumentTemplates.canManage` permission.
