Date: Sun Feb 18 12:21:40 2018 +0000
Publish event for force_publish within EditionUnwithdrawer#perform!
The EditionUnwithdrawer was already publishing an 'unwithdrawn' event to
the notifier for the originally withdrawn edition which ends up as
superseded, but it was not publishing a 'force_publish' event for the
new draft edition which is force-published.
