User Story or Problem Statement

As a n editor of any kind, I need a way to be able to add a revision log message to archived content, without needing to convert the node back to draft and then again move it to archived. This is critically important to Facilities where there closure status it tracked in revision log messages.

This requires adding the transition of archived from the archived state to the archived state.

There is not a great reason to have it limited the way we currently do.

This would impact all workflows so will likely need buy-in from CMS team and Public websites.

@BerniXiongA6 @maortiz-27-80 This was discovered by our team but isn't specific to Facilities, so this might deserves a look to see which team is appropriate to put in their backlog. Thanks!
