 RTC: Promote auto-draft posts on first autosave for collaborative sessions
 to avoid post loss.

 When an RTC session in the editor saves edits on a draft post, they always
 save into an autosave revision. This prevents a sync but where storing to
 the post itself would lead to duplicate edits. This was set in
 wordpress/gutenberg commit 9df142b839320316b406ee1a02e23704d42f8719.
 However, there is an exception to this rule: the first session to save
 edits needs to promote the autosave revision into a real draft post, if a
 post doesn’t exist. The reason is that WordPress hides autosaves.

 That is, multiple people could be editing a draft post and then once they
 close it, never be able to find it again. While the data is still in the
 database, this is a loss of the post from a practical standpoint.

 This change introduces an exception where the first time a collaborative
 session is saving draft edits, the autodraft is promoted to a real draft
 post, making it visible in the post list.
