Quick Draft ignores default comment_status and ping_status

[kovshenin]

This is a regression introduced in r26144. The old Quick Press save and publish actions both set comment_status and ping_status explicitly before running edit_post(). To reproduce:

1. Set default comment status to open in Settings - Discussion
2. Create a new draft using Quick Draft
3. Edit the newly created draft and see comment status

26722.diff​ brings a couple lines back from the post-quickpress-save action to post-quickdraft-save. I don't think modifying the $_POST superglobal is the best solution, but that's what worked before we broke it.

I'm fine with that approach in 3.8.1 at least.

[nacin]

edit_post() can receive an array of $post_data, otherwise it uses $_POST. But it uses $_POST by reference, so this does appear it would change behavior in some why. (Why does it use it byref? No idea, and should ideally be investigated and removed.) Fine with this for now.
