Cherry Pick Request for Frameworks 6.20 (and possibly 5 too?)

Hey,
the following commit unfortunately didn't make it quite in time for the Frameworks 6.20 tagging.
So I wanted to ask, if you could cherry-pick it. And maybe even add it to a possible KF5 bugfix release, should there ever come one still. (Maybe you're collecting patches for 18 months, I don't know! 😅)
Reason:
It fixes a very unexpected behaviour that could lead to data loss.
When users want to move a file to trash and the file is too big for the trash, the file instead gets deleted. If users have confirmations before deleting disabled, this will happen *without additional warning*!
Because users probably do want a file gone they are moving to trash, I wouldn't say this is emergency-bugfix worthy. However, users *would* be able to restore a file if it's in trash. But since the app possibly does something the user doesn't want, the user won't have this choice anymore.
This is also mentioned in the referenced bug: https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=475235
At the same time, it is a very unrisky bugfix, which only adds four lines of code. One for forcing the confirmation, three for disabling the "don't ask again"-checkbox which would save a wrong value.

Thank you very much!
Greetings,
Oliver
