For clients to be able to only download changes to Reading Lists (instead of the entire set of data), we need to be able to return deleted items.
To solve this, deletes will be implemented by adding rl_deleted and rle_deleted fields to denote when a list or entry have been deleted.
It is up to clients to interpret this field and not show deleted items.

Done in https://gerrit.wikimedia.org/r/#/c/366980/, although the API does hide deleted items unless asked for sync data.
