Connect current statuses and custom statuses
What does this MR do and why?
As part of the configurable work item statuses initiative, this MR establishes the relationship between work item current statuses and custom statuses, enabling work items to not only be assigned system-defined but also custom status values.
This builds upon recently introduced tables and models for custom status and lifecycle.
Notes
The actual implementation of custom status-related methods will be introduced in a separate MR via Connect custom status to all abstraction methods.

-
Follow instructions from Introduce tables and models for custom status a... (!186050 - merged) to create a custom lifecycle and status. Ensure the custom lifecycle and statuses are created under the same namespace as the work item task.
-
Assign a custom status to the work item's current status.
work_item = WorkItem.last
current_status = work_item.current_status
custom_status = WorkItems::Statuses::Custom::Status.last
current_status.update!(custom_status: custom_status)- Verify the work item's current status.
