 By default, `wp_insert_attachment` will either set a new attachment as
 'inherited' or 'private' - inherited being that it simply mimics the post
 status of its parent.

 This is fine by default, but what about when wanting to run tests? For
 example, you have a live post that you want to add attachments to, but you
 want to ensure that the attachments (whatever they may be) are properly
 formatted before making them appear on your live post. By default, just
 uploading the attachment will push it live because it has inherited the
 published status of its parent.

 Is this doable? What about filtering `$object` in the `wp_parse_args`
 function inside `wp_insert_attachment` to allow that property (along with
 the others - it makes sense to be able to filter them all) to be set?

 Don't know how feasible it is, but if it's possible I'll work on a patch
 and tests.
