Withdrawn items displayed as "restricted" rather than withdrawn

                 Key: DS-135
                 URL: http://jira.dspace.org/jira/browse/DS-135
             Project: DSpace 1.x
          Issue Type: Bug
          Components: XMLUI
    Affects Versions: 1.5.1, 1.5.0, 1.5.2
            Reporter: Tim Donohue


If you withdraw an item via the XMLUI, and then visit the item page as a 
non-Admin, you are asked to login.  After a valid login, the page displays: 
"You do not have the credentials to access the restricted item 
hdl:123456789/1".   This is a misleading message as the item has actually been 
withdrawn and should be displayed as withdrawn.

If you happen to access a withdrawn item as an Administrator, you are displayed 
the item as normal (with no indication that the item is withdrawn).  This is 
also misleading as the Administrator may assume that the item was not withdrawn 
successfully.

Rather than displaying such a "Restricted Item" message for withdrawn items, 
the following should probably happen:
(1) User is displayed an "Item has been withdrawn" message
(2) The page should return a 404, so that search engines are encouraged to 
remove the item from their indexes
(3) If an Admin accesses a withdrawn item, he/she should see a message that 
clearly states that the item is withdrawn (likely at the top of the page), 
while also  seeing the normal metadata/files for the withdrawn item.
