Add link to post in admin (back-end editor) #295

I've noticed WP Front-End Editor saves drafts in the background all the time: you will have your work anytime in the WP admin area if you want to edit there, but there's no message explaining that anywhere. That could be troublesome for certain (new) users.

I preferred the old behaviour, which let you select to save the draft in certain moments -background saving is desirable too, of course- but also go to the WP native editor. You could go from the front-end editor to the WP editor in one step. Now you need more steps: go to the dahsboard, then to the post list, and then to edit that post you were editing in the front-end. Not a usability gain here I'm affraid :/

I've added a "status" button that now changes to "Saving..." when a post is being saved, and "Saved" when successful. It is also clickable but it will only trigger a save if there is something to be saved. This will almost never be the case as the editor saves continuously.

The second thing is a link to the admin... I plan to add a button to turn on the editor outside the admin bar for cases where the admin bar is disabled. When that's done the edit link in the admin bar will point to the post in the admin.

Renaming this issue for the remaining request. Please don't hesitate to open another issue if the save solution is not okay.
