Thing that is disabled and then deleted, stays indefinite on status 'removing'

[arjan-io]

When a Thing is disabled with the pause button, then removed via either the button in the thing-config or via select->remove selected, the Thing is not removed at all but will show status REMOVING indefinitely. When the pause button is clicked again, the Thing goes to UNINITALIZED and when clicked once more to ONLINE. At no point is the removal process completed.

I think this is essentially the same as eclipse-archived/smarthome#942.

If it's disabled the handler is not initialized and the thing can't be removed. You need to click "Remove" a second time and force-remove it.

What should be fixed is that enabling a thing in REMOVING state causes the device to initialize.

This reminded me of an issue I opened a while ago. There's this behavior of a disabled thing when shutting down the system.
