#10515: TinyMCE spellchecker markup disappears during auto-save

 The WordPress spell checker strips the spellchecker markup during an auto-
 save event.

 How to reproduce?

 1. Type: "I can't spel, AO plz help." into the WordPress Visual Editor
 2. Click the spellcheck button.
 3. Wait for the auto-save.

 What happened?

 On auto-save the before get content event is fired and the spellchecker
 removes the markup for the misspelled words.

 This is the only good client side time for the spellchecker to strip its
 markup from a post.  A possible work around is to do the stripping on the
 server side but this is extremely error prone.

 Suggested fix:

 Consider updating TinyMCE to pass a why parameter to onBeforeGetContent or
 at least setting some property readable editor propery before auto-save
 and unsetting it afterwards.  This will allow plugins that choose to look
 at these values to not strip their markup during an auto-save event.
