Description
We should support WordPress.com's Publicize feature on new posts. (This is in addition to the site's Sharing section for managing sharing connections.)
At a minimum, this section would show users that we are sending posts to all the Publicize connections by default. Ideally, we would also allow users to enable/disable specific targets so they can choose to only share to a subset of their connections.
Calypso web also includes the option to add a custom message.
