* Update draft release notes for 25.4.

* Release Notes: add new section for next version (25.5)

* Update strings for localization

* feat: Persist GutenbergKit changes

Ensure post changes are not lost.

* fix: Persist changes if either post title or content changes

The previous conditional erroneously ignored changes unless both values
changed.

* build: Update GutenbergKit ref

* fix: Improve empty editor content check

As noted in the code comment, this value lags behind reality. A race
condition existed in production builds cause inaccurate values. This was
removed to instead rely upon the existing `editorHasContent`
implementation found in the `PostEditor` class.
