preserve auto-names of fields that have been named #709

currently, kobo_to_xlsform auto-names fields as they are deploying. It does not save those names back to the database, which means the names could get out of sync on re-deployments

We get around this by storing asset.latest_deployed_version.version_content and not changing the autoname method.

There is a field for asset_version.deployed_content but this defaults to None. If we do end up changing how names are generated, and we populate this field, then it will be passed to formpack. I think we can close this
