Consider refactoring the stock level field to allow for initializing the stock level before a product variation is saved

When I create new product, Simple Stock widget is empty. I found the following code in field widget:

    if ($entity->isNew()) {
      // We can not work with entities before they are fully created.
      return [];
    }

It is not good idea to hide this widget on new entities, because it forces content manager to edit products immediately after its creation.

That is because, the stock field is a computed field as it does not hold a stock value and creates transactions that are used to calculate the available stock. The stock level field needs an entity id to create the transactions records against.

A possible solution is outlined in the comments below. We could store the value of the initial stock in database and create the very first transaction in StockLevel::postSave()

We won't use the database entries after the initial transaction. Maybe it's an acceptable price to pay.
