 By default the customizer will store the customized state in a
 `customize_changeset` post that gets an `auto-draft` status so that it
 will be garbage-collected after a week. In lieu of transitioning the
 changeset post to a `draft` status (#31089), the intention was that such
 changesets could be kept alive by simply making a modification every few
 days to keep their `post_date` bumped so that it doesn't get a week stale
 and so by deleted by `wp_delete_auto_drafts()`. This, however, is not
 working. Once an auto-draft changeset is created, its post date is not
 getting updated when updates are made to the post.
