chore(core-flows): only allow published products in addToCartWorkflow (#13182)

Closes #13163 

I have a few questions about expected behaviour, since this currently breaks some tests:

- Many tests use the productModule to create products, with default status == "draft", and use the addToCart workflow which now throws. Should I change all breaking tests to specify status == "published" whne creating the product? The alternative would be to check the status in the store API route before the workflow but 1. it would be an extra query and 2. the addToCart workflow is only used in the store currently, and even if it was to be used admin-side, it still doesn't make sense to add a draft product to cart

- After this PR an unpublished product would give the same error as a variant that doesn't exist. While imho this is correct, the thrown error (for both) is "Items  do not have a price" which doesn't make much sense(i believe the workflows goes through with an empty variants list and then errors at the price check point). Should I throw a different error when a variant doesn't exists/isn't published?

> [!NOTE]
> Enforces that only variants from published products can be added to carts, adds status fetching, refines errors, and updates tests to use ProductStatus.PUBLISHED.
> 
> - **Core Flows**:
>   - addToCart: Validate variants exist and belong to `product.status = PUBLISHED`; throw clear `INVALID_DATA` when not found/unpublished.
>   - Data fetching: Include `product.status` in `cart` and `order` variant field selections.
> - **Tests/Fixtures**:
>   - Update integration tests to set `status: ProductStatus.PUBLISHED` when creating products and import `ProductStatus` where needed.
>   - Add cases for unpublished products and non-existent variants producing the new error message.
