SoftDeletes: Archive and Restore Customers

Sometimes, your Customer might get deleted for various reasons, but you might need to recover them months later. In Laravel, it's about SoftDeletes, but in the Filament version, we will show it as an Archived tab with a Restore button:

In this lesson, we will do the following:

• Add the Archived tab to the Customers table
• Add Delete button to the table

        ])
        ->actions([
            Tables\Actions\EditAction::make(),
            Tables\Actions\DeleteAction::make(),
