#12947: Slugs are reset when updating post via XML-RPC
--------------------------+-------------------------------------------------
 Reporter:  cfinke        |       Owner:  josephscott             
     Type:  defect (bug)  |      Status:  new                     
 Priority:  normal        |   Milestone:  Unassigned              
Component:  XML-RPC       |     Version:  2.9.2                   
 Severity:  major         |    Keywords:  xmlrpc, scribefire, slug
--------------------------+-------------------------------------------------
 1. Publish a post from the Web dashboard, and give it a custom slug. e.g.,
 "my-custom-slug" for a post titled "How to use custom slugs."
 2. Edit that post via the XML-RPC API, but don't send a new value (or even
 mention) the wp_slug field.
 3. The post's slug will be reset to "how-to-use-custom-slugs"

 Here's the XML I sent when editing the post (generated by ScribeFire for
 Chrome, which I'm currently writing):

 <?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8" ?>
 <methodCall>
         <methodName><![CDATA[metaWeblog.editPost]]></methodName>
         <params>
                 <param>
                         <value>
                                 <string><![CDATA[1126]]></string>
                         </value>
