[Bug 1774601] [NEW] gio trash (or gvfs-trash) on a vboxsf partition fails with "Unable to find or create trash directory"

[Jon "The Nice Guy" Spriggs]

Public bug reported:

I am using an Ubuntu 18.04 Vagrant machine, which has had the ubuntu-
mate-desktop tasksel applied to it. I mount a filesystem from the
Virtualbox Host using this line in /etc/fstab:

    HostHome /HostHome vboxsf
_netdev,uid=1000,gid=1000,dmask=0077,fmask=0177 0 0

With this build, I have installed the atom snap package, and when I try
to remove a file from the file tree, I get an error saying:

    The following file couldn't be moved to the trash.
    /HostHome/Documents/01 Projects/K5-Ansible-Openstack-Development-Machine/ansible_users.retry
    Is gvfs-trash installed?

On further investigation, I found that while gvfs-trash is installed
(via the gvfs-common package), it has been depreciated, preferring gio.
Running either `gio trash` or `gvfs-trash` specifying that path
(`/HostHome/Documents/01 Projects/K5-Ansible-Openstack-Development-
Machine/ansible_users.retry`) returns this report:

    gio: file:///HostHome/Documents/01%20Projects/K5-Ansible-Openstack-
Development-Machine/ansible_users.retry: Unable to find or create trash
directory for /HostHome/Documents/01 Projects/K5-Ansible-Openstack-
Development-Machine/ansible_users.retry
