[development] Moderation bit behavior

[Jeff Eaton]

Maintain a separate table. Nmoderation in particular just uses the flag
to determine what nodes it should show its moderation voting widget on
-- everything else it handles by publishing and unpublishing. The
behavior of the module wouldn't change considerably if some different
mechanism were used, we'd just have to figure out what makes the most
sense. (A 'moderation' module that adds the behavior we're discussing?
Multiple states for the 'published' flag? 1 for published, 0 for
unpublished, negative numbers ofr intermediary but
not-visible-to-everyone states? That would be nice.)
