[wp-hackers] Change post_status of image attachments

[Otto]

Attachment post statuses are always "inherit".

This is set in wp_insert_attachment, which is called from
wp_update_post, which is called after the attachment_fields_to_save
filter runs.

So in other words, you can't change the post_status because it's being
forced to "inherit" for all attachments, always.

I was able to add a "post status" field to the media edit screen, and I can pass the value in that field into the database, but not if I'm trying to update the post_status. The code is here: http://wordpress.pastebin.com/m1dd87fdc
