It's possible to delete assets that have licenses/assets checked out to them

Describe the bug

Most objects in Snipe-IT are protected from deletion until they're "empty". E.g. you cannot delete a Location which has assets assigned to it, or a Company which contains assets, users etc.

However, Assets themselves are an exception. It is possible to delete an asset that has licenses or other assets checked out to it. Granted that it's a soft delete, but this still feels inconsistent. I would expect the delete button to be greyed out until the asset has been cleared and sorted out.

A follow up question: What happens to these "asset links" if you purge the database?

Reproduction steps

1. Create two assets A & B
2. Checkout A to B
3. Delete B

Expected behavior

Deleting assets should be impossible while there's stuff checked out to them.

Alternatively, the assigned assets and licenses could be checked in at deletion time automatically. This could be nice but it's not in line with other object types.

It seems like deleting an asset will undo it's own checkout. I.e. deleting as asset that itself is checked out to something, will make it not checked out.

Confirmed. I'll work on this.
