[anujbhavsar96]

Description

Based on #15858, Make necessary changes on the admin side.

• We will have to add an article Scheduled state indicator on the article page /admin/content_manager/articles
• Instead of Published at change the label to Publish at for the date and time.

For the user-facing side (#15858) the intention was to use input[type="datetime-local"] which comes with bunch of handy browser-native user controls for setting date and time. It would be worth reusing the same thing in Admin side too instead of these multiple selects we have right now - I think the input provides so much better experience and it's also more readable and accessible.

This may need input from backend dev to evaluate complexity of this task (something something data model something).

(This suggestion has a blessing from @anujbhavsar96 so I'm not yolo'ing my $0.02 here :D)

@amywtlin and @lightalloy, can you remind me? Are we still looking to make this change?

I'll repost my message from Slack:

Initially I planned to implement "Post scheduling - Admin" along with "Scheduling", but it turned out that we only display published posts in this admin section.
"Scheduled" posts are not yet published, so it doesn't make sense to display them in the same list with published.
There are a few more details in the #15858 (comment) (Admin articles page section)
We may create a separate section for scheduled articles in admin if we need admins to manage scheduled articles, so in my opinion this part needs to be discussed.

@mirie Yes we are - but as @lightalloy mentioned, this one would be larger than we previously imagined, and we probably need some design help from @anujbhavsar96 on how to show these drafts in admin's content manager. I am tagging this with need design to reflect that.
