Comment:

 In [attachment:"54708.2.diff"]:

 When sending the data to the autosave REST API endpoint:
 * If no autosave exists for the user, create one
 * If an autosave exists for the user, update it

 Also:
 * Remove logic that previously would delete existing autosaves that
 matched the post content which had the unfortunate side effect of breaking
 previews because preview setup requires and checks for the presence of an
 autosave.
