 Currently, user with "Contributor" role can submit new ''drafts'', but not
 publish new posts.

 In wp-app.php, if a contributor forgets to set app:draft to 'yes' and
 submits a new post, the server rejects the request with an error message.
 But currently, the error message does not clearly mention what actually
 went wrong.

 [Current Response][[BR]]
 401 Unauthorized[[BR]]
 "Sorry, you do not have the right to edit/publish new posts."

 So, here is a proposed response, which informs the contributor that: 1)
 you do not have the right to publish new posts, but 2) you may submit the
 post as draft for review.

 "Sorry, you do not have the right to publish new posts. Please submit your
 post as draft for review."
