File shredding should be built in to Chrome OS

Reported by 93m4qau...@gmail.com, Jan 3 2018

Issue description

UserAgent: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows NT 6.1; Win64; x64) AppleWebKit/537.36 (KHTML, like Gecko) Chrome/63.0.3239.108 Safari/537.36

Steps to reproduce the problem:
N/A

What is the expected behavior?
In addition to regular, insecure delete, there should also be an option built right into Chrome OS to shred sensitive files, which overwrites the shredded files with 1 pass of pseudorandom numbers.

What went wrong?
There is only an option to delete files the regular, insecure way.

Did this work before? N/A 

Chrome version: 63.0.3239.86  Channel: stable
OS Version: 10032.71.1
Flash Version: 

Note #1: Even if there is an app on the Chrome Web Store that does this, I personally think this should be integrated into Chrome OS itself.

Note #2: Microsoft doesn't do this, but that doesn't mean Google can't.

<files-triage>Files on disk are encrypted, which alleviates the need for this type of functionality.
