Vinay Keerthi f455e7994e fix: respect status parameter when creating articles via API (#12846)
## Description

The Articles API was ignoring the `status` parameter when creating new
articles. All articles were forced to be drafts due to a hardcoded
`@article.draft!` call in the controller, even when users explicitly
sent `status: 1` (published) in their API request.

This PR removes the hardcoded draft enforcement and allows the status
parameter to be respected while maintaining backward compatibility.

Fixes #12063

## Type of change

- [x] Bug fix (non-breaking change which fixes an issue)

## How Has This Been Tested?

**Before:**
- API POST with `status: 1` → Created as draft (ignored parameter)
- API POST without status → Created as draft

**After:**
- API POST with `status: 1` → Created as published 
- API POST without status → Created as draft (backward compatible) 
- UI creates articles → Still creates as draft (UI doesn't send status)


**Tests run:**
```bash
bundle exec rspec spec/controllers/api/v1/accounts/articles_controller_spec.rb
# 17 examples, 0 failures
```

Updated tests:
1. Changed 2 existing tests that were verifying the broken behavior
(expecting draft when published was sent)
2. Added new test to verify articles default to draft when status is not
provided
3. All existing tests pass, confirming backward compatibility
