 In the new editor, we currently have to wait for a manual save or publish
 in order to edit the permalink. I'm working on resolving this in
 https://github.com/WordPress/gutenberg/pull/12009. To facilitate immediate
 editing of the permalink, we need to know the permalink structure at the
 time the editor is initialized.

 #45017 added added the `permalink_template` to the REST posts controller.
 The solution there uses `get_sample_permalink()` to generate the
 `permalink_template` value. This works for certain non-published post
 statuses by [https://core.trac.wordpress.org/browser/trunk/src/wp-
 admin/includes/post.php?rev=44670&marks=1339-1343#L1339 faking the post
 status] to `publish` when running `get_permalink()`.

 However, when we initialize a new post in the block editor, the status is
 `auto-draft`. So it returns a standard non-pretty permalink in the format
 `/?p=123`. We don't know the permalink structure until a draft is manually
 saved, or the post is published.

 By adding `auto-draft` to this list of statuses that are faked as
 published, it will return the proper `permalink_template` for `auto-draft`
 posts.
