Don't trash files on different device to home dir on Linux #3304

This is a bit of a crude check, but I imagine that most users will be working either in their home directory, or on the same device, so it's not worth trying to do a more complex check. I'm going to ask for better exceptions from send2trash so we can distinguish these cases from others.

Closes gh-3249

I've asked on send2trash about having a more specific exception type that we could catch: arsenetar/send2trash#20

# files on the same partition as the home directory.
file_dev = os.stat(os_path).st_dev
home_dev = os.stat(os.path.expanduser('~')).st_dev
return file_dev == home_dev

Unfortunately, this test doesn't do what you'd hope on GPFS (under Linux). If the directories are part of different filesets, you'll still get an EXDEV if you try to rename a file/dir from one to the other.

_check_trash() was added (in jupyter#3304) because TrashPermissionError didn't
exist, yet.

Now that it does, we can use it, and stop guessing what will cause a
permission problem.

Closes: jupyter#3374
