[Feature Request]: Manage GCS soft delete policy in temp location

[shunping]

What would you like to happen?

Background

GCS has introduced soft delete policy feature in new and existing buckets since March 2024. By default, the soft delete retention period is 7 days. (https://cloud.google.com/resources/storage/soft-delete-announce?hl=en)

This feature may impact Beam users who use temp and staging locations in GCS for temporary files and pipeline execution, because storage during the soft delete window will still be billed.

Tasks

• Disable soft delete policy when creating a new default bucket for a project
• Warn users about potential costs if the temporary location is in a bucket with the soft delete policy enabled
