Expand TPI to more actions

With the new TPI feature it is not possible to delete safeguarded snapshots. We would very much like the feature expanded to include operations such as deleting regular datastores in an attempt to prevent ransomware attacks. And before you say "just use safeguarded snapshots" we are using a V5000 where safeguarded snapshots are not available (only possible in V5100 or V5200 as I understand it).
