Describe the Bug

When using /api/attachments/, I have noticed some uploaded_to ids link to missing pages. A request to /api/pages/{uploaded_to} give a 404 HTTP error code. I assume these pages have been deleted, but are still in the bin, awaiting their eventual complete deletion.

Steps to Reproduce

Create a new page
Upload an attachment
Check /api/attachments/{id} and /api/pages/{id from attachment uploaded_to}. They should both give correct results.
Delete the page
Check /api/attachments/{id} and /api/pages/{id from attachment uploaded_to}. The attachment call should be unchanged, but the pages one will give a 404 error.

Expected Behaviour

Given that the ID of a deleted page doesn’t have a usable meaning, I would expect either to see a 404 for the attachment (ideally, as the attachment become unusable from the web interface anyway), or a null value.

We use a slighty modified Bookstack version, with a couple of small cosmetic changes. The API has not been modified.
