Composed states

There are a total of five state labels in Specialist Publisher. Here they are:

The last two of these labels are composed of multiple states. When content has these state labels, it does not affect the workflow of content. It is purely a presentational feature.

This information is derived from the state_history field returned by the Publishing API. This is a hash that maps user-facing version to state for the history of that content item, e.g.

{
  1 => "superseded",
  2 => "published",
  3 => "draft",
}

All of the information needed to render the state label can be retrieved from the highest two keys in this hash. Currently, this is handled in the StateHelper.
