More full-featured draft management

[rob1n]

Can we squeeze this into 2.2? ;)

It'd be nice to have drafts be on a separate page for easy reference. I've seen plenty of sites with over 100 drafts (who am I to question their workflow?) and the edit page gets insane.

Here's my proposal:

1. Extend WP_Query to allow for post_status queries.
2. Put Drafts on their own tab where we still separate out your own drafts from those of others.
3. Like Manage -> Posts, make Manage -> Drafts searchable, monthable, and categoriable.

Patch accomplishes all of these, though will likely need some healthy tweaking.

Supercedes #4286.

rboren and I came up with what we think is a better idea.

1. Keep it on the same tab.
2. Combine Search, month, cat, and a new "what kind of post" (draft, future, private, normal, any) dropdown into one form.
3. Default the dropdowns to any.

Advantages:

1. more pivots, fewer tabs.
2. can do the same for pages.

for posts. all on one tab. pagination may need some work

3945b.diff - Just does posts, not pages.

1. Same tab
2. New post_status dropdown
3. default for drops is any

posts and pages

Does pages too. Same as posts, but no separation between your drafts and others' drafts.

Both edit.php and edit-post-rows.php include navigation links, resulting in double sets of navigation.

edit-post-rows.php is included in an "if" block and in that block's inner "if" block. Looks like including it twice is possible. I couldn't get it to fall into both blocks though.

Would be nice if the h2 text updated to reflect the query.

Other than that looks good here.

[mdawaffe]

posts, pages, h2 from query, i18n

[mdawaffe]

3945e.diff (make sure to delete any edit-post-pages.php copies from earlier patches before applying this one.)

1. Navigation links fixed.
2. Pasts: query by search terms, post_status, month, category.
3. Pages: query by search terms, post_status.
4. H2 element reflects query and is i18nized.
