Fixes: READ-274

Proposed Changes

Remove title while publishing quick post.

Why are these changes being made?

Currently while publishing Quick Post we take first 57 characters of post content and use them as title. This is not good specially because of duplication.

One of the use case of editor is to make it similar to other social media platforms. Almost all of them don't require title so we are removing that as well.

Testing Instructions

  1. Go to /reader. Publish a quick post.
  2. Note title is taken from content.
  3. Checkout this PR or use Calypso Live.
  4. Go to /reader. Publish a quick post.
  5. Verify no title is present now.

Curious, when I tested it, it was not working.

Approved, we just need to fix the related unit tests.
