Media entity translations do not adhere to status (published/unpublished)

code mostly taken from the TaxonomyTranslationHandler.php

Tested on D9 and D10 works.

MR should be updated for 11.x as it will have to land there first to be backported.

But change seemed to cause some test failures so the fix may need to be tweaked.

Also will need it's own test coverage.

This is a major one. I have updated the MR for 11.x.

We have a requirement to have unpublished media in all active languages, ready to be published eventually, but the current functionality requires to have at least one media translation published as it is stated in the "This translation is published" checkbox: "You must publish at least one more translation to unpublish this one. "

We created a patch (3372217-11-media-entity-translations-status-published-unpublished.patch) that has been tested in Drupal 10.2.2, PHP 8.1.26 and Mysql 5.7.42 successfully.

Thanks for this solution that has allowed us to solve our issues, it was causing struggle and confusion among our content managers. We are glad this is being worked on, and without a doubt we consider it convenient for future releases.

I Sorry, i made a mistake on the patch i uploaded on comment #11, i am uploading the right patch (3372217-12-media-entity-translations-status-published-unpublished.patch
