Allow page hierarchy to be defined in the WP admin when working with drafts.

[shawnparker]

As it sits right now if a page is a draft you cannot assign it to any page hierarchy. Also, if a page is a draft or private no other page can assign itself to its hierarchy.

It would be super helpful if this were possible. It would also be perfectly acceptable that any child of a draft in effect be hidden from view, or even forced in to draft status itself when assigned, to protect the permalink performance on the front end.

This is likely a duplicate of a four-year-old unresolved ticket.
