danielbachhuber/Edit-Flow — Issue #21: Improve post submit box for users without 'publish_posts' cap

In core, users without the 'publish_posts' cap are presented with a post submit box that doesn't have the status dropdown and is restricted to saving as draft or submitting for review. This is kinda hokey, as forum commenters have noticed.

Instead, we should either:
- Let them save to the first status in their workflow or submit to the second
- Give them a dropdown of post statuses, and let them save to any status but remove the "Submit" button and language entirely
