 When publishing Draft posts via Bulk Edit date of post isn't changed and
 posts are published with the last date they have.

 When user is publishing something, he/she expects this to be fresh on the
 block news and not be published on time what it was drafted. I imagine
 that user can prepare something and sitting on it waiting for right timing
 and then publish. If the time gap is not big he/she cannot even notice
 that it was published at past but in some cases date is matter for users
 and SEO as well and inaccurate dates can be potentially looks like tricks
 from the site owner or caching bug.

 This is saparate issue found during #31635 discussion.

 @cadic is working on the patch
