Introduce client side remove, with confirmation? and undo

Problem/Motivation

With the the fix in #2831409: Remove Confirm Deletion / restore actions for paragraphs it is now very easy and quick to remove a paragraph which is generally a good thing and much preferred to the previous behaviour. However since in some cases a user might accidentally remove a paragraph and loose a lot of her work, I suggest that we look into a solution that has a JS confirmation state with a small footprint.

Proposed resolution

After clicking the delete button show a little overlay in place with two buttons, one to confirm deletion and one to cancel the deletion. We need to see if we can implement this in a way that one can delete the paragraph with two consecutive clicks without moving the mouse too much, but also prevent a double-click that would skip the confirmation entirely.
