 XMLRPC: Fix bug where draft posts couldn’t be published in the future, and
 would publish immediately.

 Resolves bug introduced in [r34572], in which editing a Post via the
 XMLRPC API with a draft post_status, where the post_status changes from
 draft->publish with a future post_date set for the publish action, will
 have the future post_date disregarded and the Post will be published
 immediately. The expected behavior is that the post_date is used to
 schedule the Post to be published in the future.

 Fixes #35874.
