compose: Only save as draft when the compose state is about to change.

Up until now, we unconditionally saved any message content as a draft
whenever the composebox was `start`ed. This led to a lot of unnecessary
saving of drafts even when the composebox stayed undisturbed.

To fix this, now we only save the draft when the compose state is about
to be overidden, which is by either changing the recipient narrow or by
restoring another draft.

Fixes: #26976.
