 Passing a `post_author` of 0 to `wp_insert_post` does not work if the user
 is logged in.

 Reproducible with:

 {{{
 add_action( 'init', function() {
         $args = array(
                 'post_title' => 'test',
                 'post_author' => 0
         );

         $post_id = wp_insert_post( $args );

         echo get_post_field( 'post_author', $post_id ); // post_author is
 1
 });
 }}}

 `post_author` returns 1, despite `post_author` being set explicitly to 0.
