Option to disable worklist item postponing
Reply To cazfi
With the City Option approach, this ticket would be the one to make purge/postpone functionality to depend on such an option + to make sure that the option lives over save + load cycle
Patch attached.
Request from alain_bkr in #47493: "Btw, i would prefer an option to un-activate postponing"
As the postponing (/purge) functionality happens on the server side, this can't be purely a client option. Our options would thus be:
- Server setting affecting entire game, all players
- Server setting affecting specific player. As we don't have the concept of "player specific settings" at the moment, this isn't likely happen any time soon
- Separate server command to toggle player's "autopurge" status
- Ruleset setting, affecting all players
- Ruleset setting, affecting specific nation
- Ruleset effect
- Lua callback, in player authentication context
- City option
I assume that the City Option is closest to what's actually wanted, but please correct me if some other option is preferred.

Leaving client/gui parts to future tickets.
