Expiring versions does not work for deleted files

⚠️ This issue respects the following points: ⚠️

• This is a bug, not a question or a configuration/webserver/proxy issue.
• This issue is not already reported on Github OR Nextcloud Community Forum (I've searched it).
• Nextcloud Server is up to date. See Maintenance and Release Schedule for supported versions.
• I agree to follow Nextcloud's Code of Conduct.

Bug description

When Nextcloud tries to expire versions for files which got deleted, it will fail because it will try to find the original file which does not exist any longer. This is what I get when I try to run that for a specific user (all private data anonymized):

occ versions:expire USERNAME -vvv
Remove deleted files of   USERNAME

In Root.php line 206:

  [OCP\Files\NotFoundException]
  /path-example/filename

versions:expire [<user_id>...]

Steps to reproduce

1. create file
2. make changes to, so that there are multiple versions
3. delete the file
4. run occ versions:expire

Note: I don't know if this will only happen, if there is at least one old version to be deleted.

Expected behavior

occ versions:expire and the respective background job work without any error message.

Start in apps/files_versions/lib/Storage.php around the failing get() call shown in the trace, then follow how apps/files_versions/lib/Command/ExpireVersions.php invokes expiration. Reproduce with the listed create, version, delete, and occ versions:expire steps; done means expiration and the corresponding background job complete without an error for deleted files.
