[Feature request] Add option to "forbid until sold" to stockpile. #5846
Description
Sometimes you want certain object to be forbidden for common use, but also available to be sold.
Stockpiles already have the option to automatically forbid and to automatically send to depot . Having an option to do both ( obviously unforbidding beforehand ) would be helpful.

Items cannot be sent to the depot while forbidden. I'm not sure how this would work.

Yes, that's why im asking for them to be unforbidden beforehand.
It would work that an item that is placed in a stockpile would be automatically forbidden ( the lock icon ) until a caravan arrived. At which point they would be automatically un-forbidden and marked to be sent to a depot.
We already have options for a having a stockpile mark items to be given to the trade depot, and alredy can have stockpiles forbid or claim objects in it automatically. The only thing that is missing is a way to set them forbid or unforbid mode automatically when caravans arrive.
