Rewrite and Republish feature displays permalink field in editor, but this field is not used

• I've searched for any related issues and avoided creating a duplicate issue.

Please give us a description of what happened

A user created a rewritten post using "rewrite and republish", but then didn't publish the rewritten post because they thought it would be at the wrong URL. The rewritten post's editor showed a permalink that didn't match the original URL, so it wasn't clear that the draft rewrite would replace the original.

To Reproduce

Step-by-step reproduction instructions

1. Create a post and set its permalink. Publish it.
2. Use the "Rewrite and Republish" functionality to create a draft rewrite
3. Edit the draft rewrite.

Expected results

I expected either of the following:

1. The editor in the rewritten post should display no permalink controls
2. The editor in the rewritten post should display the same permalink as the post it is a rewrite of

Actual results

1. The editor in the rewritten post shows a control for setting the permalink, and this contains a value that is not the value of the original post.
