Description
The "Visibility" selector on the post editing screen isn't always desirable for custom post types. In fact, it doesn't make a lot of sense at all for non-public post types.
'Password protected' and 'Private' should both be two separate post type features (both enabled by default) that can be disabled. If neither are supported by the post type, the Visibility section in the post publish meta box will not be shown at all.
The corresponding fields on the Quick Edit screen will also be affected by support for these features.
Patch in progress.

Ah yes there is some overlap with #12567. That ticket also covers post statuses in general. The complication comes with the post password, which is grouped in with the Private status selector even though post passwords aren't related to post status.
Maybe post password needs to be a post type feature, and the 'private' status a status that can be enabled/disabled. I'll finish off my patch and see where we get.
