Soft deletes a project journal entry. The entry is marked as deleted and will no longer appear in list queries, but it is not permanently removed from the database.

**Deletion behavior:**
- The entry is marked with a deletedAt timestamp
- Deleted entries do not appear in the list endpoint results
- The entry data remains in the database for audit purposes
- This operation cannot be undone through the API

**Note:** Returns 404 if the journal entry does not exist, has already been deleted, or is not a project journal entry.
