 `register_post_status()`, introduced in r12719, isn't fully functional.
 Registering a custom post status produces incomplete and unexpected
 results. #12706 has been a long-standing ticket to fix things up but
 hasn't ever been committed, I suspect, because it's trying to do to much.

 Instead, we should complete the `register_post_status()` API with the bare
 minimum of code. A user should be able to register a custom post status
 using any of the existing arguments. The admin UI (including post submit
 box and quick edit) should reflect this new custom post status.
 Furthermore, there are many hard-coded references to 'draft' and 'pending'
 statuses in core that should properly use the post status API.

 Once we've knocked this out, enhancements like #23169, #23168, and others
 should be much easier to stomach.
