feat: adds versions.drafts.localizeStatus and allows unpublish per-locale

[JarrodMFlesch]

This PR introduces a new collection configuration option:

versions: {
  drafts: {
    localizeStatus: true, // default: `false`
  }
}

When enabled, the status of documents becomes localized, allowing each locale to track and manage its own publication status independently.

Key Changes

• Added versions.drafts.localizeStatus config option. When enabled:

  • Status values are per-locale, not global.
  • You can unpublish individual locales even when other locales remain published.
  • Collection list views now show the status for the currently active locale.
  • Document view shows the status of the current locale.
  • Versions list reflects the current locale’s status rather than the overall latest status.

I cannot say anything about the code implementation itself, because I don't know payload internals, but from what I understand, this is a feature we would really want to have. Currently, when I publish a collection in English and never provide values for Spanish, for example, the payload REST/locale/SDK APIs treat the Spanish version as published as well. This happens even though the Payload UI clearly states “Publish in English” when I click the button. This is really confusing to me, to be honest. Well done 🙏
