Asset requests are not deleted when asset is deleted

I know this was discussed internally, but I don't remember where we netted out.

Ah, never mind - lol - I just found the second ticket. Will respond there.

Work for this has begun in #16603

Is this really a bug?
From the point of view of the requester, all they want is an asset to use. If the inventory manager decides to delete an asset for some reason, that doesn't administratively invalidate the request.

I‌ think a different approach is needed:

• Perhaps the administrator should be notified of hanging requests, in order to redirect them to standing assets.
• Perhaps notify the requester, allowing them to re-request a different asset.
• Perhaps the requests should be redirected to the next available asset of the same type (category? model?), if any, and both the administrator and requester notified.
