Add a `pre_deletion_hook`

Use-Case
The events of a calendar A (connected via an iCal feed) need to be filtered and/or modified using a script and then copied into a calendar B (connected via WebDav).
Technical Approach
Calendar A is connected using html
and synchronized with a filesystem
storage. The filtering and modification of events occur through a post_hook: only the desired events are stored in a different directory, also using a filesystem
storage. These events are then synchronized with the target calendar, which is connected as caldav
.

Problem
When an event is deleted in the source calendar (or modified in a way that changes the filename/UID), this deletion/modification cannot be synchronized between the two filesystem
storages because, in the case of deletion, the post_hook
is not invoked. As a result, deleted events persist in the target calendar, and modified events appear multiple times.
Proposed Solution
Extend the existing code to allow the invocation of a pre_deletion_hook
even when an event is deleted.
