Expected result AFTER applying this Pull Request
REMARK
It would be correct to use a new param for switching on and off the publishing tab. But this would be a b/c break.

While test i set Article Options in the Backend to "Hide" and was confused as the Tab is shown in the Frontend:
| Backend | Frontend |
|---|---|
 |
 |
I realised Article Options hide only in the Backend.
To avoid Confusion i suggest to rename in the Frontend the Tab Options to "Details".
Comment: I prefer inline help that a field is for Frontend, Backend or both but thats not in scope of this Pull Request.
It is confusing. Please use the Help button
The whole usage opf param is wrong and the contrary of self-explaining. But no chance to change this in Version 5.xdue to b/c

I've given this a feature label for now, since I don't think this is a bugfix, correct? In that case it would have to go into 5.3
I've decided that my feature label is correct and thus rebased this to 5.3-dev.

Does what it says in the instructions, apart from removing Language and Metadata tabs because they weren't there in the first place.
