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.

Research direction

Start by reviewing the Calypso web editor's Sharing section shown in the issue and the related WordPress-iOS issue #2698. Done means new posts show that they are sent to all Publicize connections by default; the broader scope also considers selecting targets and adding a custom message.
