delete_post capability issue in Trash

[szaqal21]

There is a issue with capability 'delete_post' in Trash when a post with status other than 'publish' was trashed. When you registered this post type with map_meta_cap => true and disabled capability 'delete_post' using 'user_has_cap' you will see that in posts (view All) table there is no trash link in post row actions but you can select this post and bulk remove. Post will be moved to trash and voila in view Trash you can permanently remove this post.

I've checked the source and found that te problem is map_meta_cap() function

} elseif ( 'trash' == $post->post_status ) {
				if ( 'publish' == get_post_meta( $post->ID, '_wp_trash_meta_status', true ) ) {
					$caps[] = $post_type->cap->delete_published_posts;
				}
			}

there is a check for 'publish' status so when my post was 'pending' map_meta_cap() returned empty array().

@szaqal21 Would you be interested in submitting a patch to address this? We'd probably also need accompanying unit tests.

I've checked and it has been fixed in version 4.4.
