Auto-update inventory policy based on a "preorder" tag

Tags: Auto-Update, Products, Tag, Watch

This task scans your product catalog nightly or when you hit the "Run task" button, checking for the presence of a "preorder" tag, or a tag that starts with "preorder_" (like "preorder_summer"). If this tag is found, the task updates the product to allow customers to purchase the product after it's out of stock. If no preorder tag is found, the task makes sure customers cannot purchase the product if it's out of stock.
