Allow Group Status Field Including All Locales

[jessrynkar]

Description

Currently, documents will return one status, whether you are fetching all locales or an individual locale.

This feature will introduce a status group field that maintains and provides the current status of all locales.

Details

• Each doc will have a _status group field.
• Status changes in one locale will not affect others.
• These fields currently exist on the top level version data, we can likely reuse this
• This feature should be opt-in

It would be great if Payload could introduce a separate type for 'all' queries. This part is currently not type safe and type changes like the one required for this implementation would not be detected.
