Comment (by mnelson4):

 What about adding allowing `register_post_status()` to support another arg
 named something like "date_floating"?

 If it were set to true, it would indicate the date can be floating (like
 on draft, auto-draft, and pending), but if false then it indicates the
 date can't be floating (like published and private).

 Then we would expose that on `wp/v2/statuses`, and API clients would know
 how to account for floating dates for posts of that particular status.
