Auto-convert Contributor's new post to draft

[toydi]

Currently, wp-app.php implementation honors client-supplied app:draft element. If a contributor submits a new Atom entry without app:draft element set to 'yes', it rejects the request.

Imagine when a contributor forgets to set app:draft to 'yes' and submits a new post. By reading the error message, the contributor may mistakenly think that he is not allowed to submit posts at all. A proposed workaround has been submitted as ticket #5723.

There is an alternate proposal:
rather than rejecting the request, server may ignore client-supplied app:draft element and always treats a contributor's new post as draft. Based on ​RFC5023 Section 13.1.1, server may ignore client-supplied app:draft element.

Still needs testing.

Patch needs a tidy up too.
