[5.x]: Field postDate and expiryDate can't be made visible for entries
What happened?
Description
Not sure if this is supposed to be a bug or a feature request.
In CraftCMS 5 entry types are stored in the entries table.
Therefore they also have the fields postDate and expiryDate.
By manually setting an old date to an entry via the database it disappears from the frontend output. Therefore the logic is already implemented.
But there is no way to make the fields visible in the backend expect by creating a section for it.
Also by opening the entry with the edit view, the fields are not shown.
Solutions
the fields should be visible globally or optionally at an entry level with a toggle.
This could be also added to the dropdown menu for matrix table
ex:
Benefit
Entries can in addition of being disabled, also be scheduled or hidden in the future identical to sections.

We have a relevant issue. We want to be able to disable specific matrix blocks for a specific language if our matrix blocks are displayed as inline editable without having to navigate to that specific matrix blocks entry if that makes any sense.
For example if I want to disable (Uitschakelen in dutch) this matrix block it is disabled for every language.
To be able to disable that matrix block entry for a specific language I am required to go to that specific matrix blocks entry and disable it there. Which is quite annoying.
