Summary of Changes

On Joomla 5.4 and earlier, we show publishing fields such as (publish_up, publish_down, featured_up, featured_down) on add/edit article form if the logged in user has edit state permission, see https://github.com/joomla/joomla-cms/blob/5.4-dev/components/com_content/tmpl/form/edit.php#L117-L125 . I guess there is a bug introduced by PR #45081 makes these fields only being displayed on edit article form and ignore edit state permission check. This PR just fixes that bug, make it behavior the same with earlier version of Joomla.
