[daisy] Publish immediately & no publishing permissions in document editor

[Karel Vervaeke]

All cases where the the 'publish' access changes while editing are more
of a non-issue: The user can always go to the versions page and change
the version state afterwards.
Then the publish access is revoked during editing however, the user
should be warned if the new version's state is not 'publish' as per his
request.
