Description

When creating an initial autosave for published posts, a blank title is stored. If the user restores this autosave, the post title will be blank.

Follow up to #6257.

Steps to reproduce:

1. Create a post and publish it.
2. Change the content of the post and wait 10 seconds for the autosave to fire.
3. Check the autosave REST request - note that the title is missing in the request. Check the database and note the autosave title is blank in the database.
4. The title will continue to not be sent & stored as blank/empty until it is modified.

Expected Behavior:

The title should be sent with each autosave request, regardless of if it has been modified.
