[Auto-upload Published] Full publishing and cancellation flow

[shiki]

This covers the following part of #12227:

Test Cases

Drafts

Test Case	Status
Post stays in Drafts and SnackBar appears Status: Android and iOS show different messages.
Local drafts are automatically uploaded as drafts	✔️ #11839 #12215
Drafts with un-confirmed changes are remote-auto-saved
Drafts with confirmed changes are automatically uploaded

Publishing

Test Case	Status
When offline: Post stays in Drafts or previous remote status SnackBar appears: "Post will be published next time your device is online"
Post List: Status message: "Post will be published next time your device is online"" Cancel button is shown"
Cancellation Post stays in Drafts or previous remote status SnackBar: "Changes will not be published"
Published posts with confirmed changes are automatically uploaded.
Published posts with UN-confirmed changes are remote-auto-saved
Cancelled posts are remote-auto-saved not auto-uploaded.
It should be possible to revert a published post to a draft.
When a draft is uploaded, pressing on the notice's Publish button should auto-upload the post as published
Tapping on Publish in the Post List should auto-upload the post

Additional scenarios

• A post with a failed media upload

Plan

It looks like all parts have to be there in order to merge these to develop. We will create multiple PRs but target a master branch instead.

Most of the work has been done by @diegoreymendez in PR #12178. We're going to take it apart into smaller chunks. And then we're going to need to test everything before merging to develop.

Targeting the PUBLISHED is deliberate to decrease the risks of regressions. If everything works great, we can apply the same to other statuses.

@osullivanchris I'm sorry if this has already been answered somewhere. For the requirement, "Post stays in drafts". If the post was previously published, should it still show in Drafts?

[osullivanchris]

@shiki no I think that would imply that it has been 'unpublished'. I'm not sure if we previously addressed it so its good to call out. I think it would be in published, and a message saying "Post will be updated next time your device is online" would make it clear what to expect. WDYT?

[shiki]

@osullivanchris That sounds great! Thank you.
