Summary:
People are asking us how the recents on UIDocumentBrowserViewController can be cleared and especially if a device is shared, I completely understand why this is a wanted functionality.

Please add API to allow clearing recent documents via UI or API.

Steps to Reproduce:
Download http://pdfviewer.io/ and open a PDF.
Observe PDF now appears in Recents tab
Look for a way to clear recents.
There is none.

Expected Results:
Button or API (or both!) to clear recent documents

Actual Results:
No way to clear recent documents, unhappy users.

Version:
11.2.5
