 This patch adds a new 'pre_post_update' action that runs just prior to
 saving an edited post.

 Sample scenario: a plugin needs to notify an external web service of
 changes to posts.  By the time edit_post and transition status actions
 run, the contents of the post prior to saving are no longer known -
 including the old URL, which may have changed if post_status or post_name
 were edited.  The new action gives plugins a chance to fetch any post
 fields they need before they're changed.

 If there's a better way to do it I'm happy to hear of it.
