Editor: Fix improper triggering of the "Are you sure" prompt when navigating away from the old, "classic" Edit Post screen and there are no changes. Was triggered when there is an instance of TinyMCE in the Excerpt postbox.

This brings the changes from [49807] to the 5.6 branch.

Props rodrigosprimo, jonathanstegall, kevin940726, azaozz, metalandcoffee, ifnoob.

Fixes #52038.
