API for deleted title search

Problem: Some time ago, it became possible to search the archive table for titles of deleted pages - https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?prefix=%28company%29&title=Special%3AUndelete&fuzzy=1 (admins only). This functionality is not accessible through the API and therefore cannot be incorporated into bots and gadgets used by administrators. As a consequence, this limits the discoverability of reposts under a slightly different title (a very common abuse tactic).
Who would benefit: Admins, patrollers, bot operators
Proposed solution: See above. A module is added to the Action API that allows searching for deleted titles.
