'Restore This Autosave' immediately updates a published post

Description

The "Restore This Autosave" button on the revisions screen immediately replaces the post with the autosave without making it clear that that is the case.

Steps to reproduce:

  1. Publish a post.
  2. Edit the content of the post and trigger an autosave (either by waiting two minutes or by clicking the 'Preview Changes' button).
  3. Navigate away from the post editing screen.
  4. Return to the post editing screen and note the message stating "There is an autosave of this post that is more recent than the version below". Click "View the autosave".
  5. On the revisions screen, click "Restore This Autosave".
  6. Note that the autosave has been published rather than simply being restored to the editing screen.

Good point - the behavior of the restore button is not at all obvious.

Direct result of the current limitation where a published post cannot be updated without updating the live post. Once we have this ability, the ideal solution would be to restore the revision as a draft that could then be published at a later time.

This still seems to be an issue and would be a good fix for a broken flow.
