Share, See-project-page buttons will only save if project has changed

[benjiwheeler]

Resolves

• Resolves 'See project page' button should not save unless project has changed #4604

Proposed Changes

Instead of auto-saving whenever a logged in user clicks the Share or See project page buttons, before sharing or navigating to the project page, only auto-save if the project has changed.

Reason for Changes

It's slow to auto-save unnecessarily. This is part of the larger effort to make saving happen at the right times, and only at the right times.

Thank you! This is definitely an appreciated change. It's a little frustrating to always have to make sure the screen is exactly as you want the project thumbnail to be whenever you see-outside the project. (Especially if you'd just seen-inside and hadn't made any changes.)
