HTML encoding in draft titles

Draft titles containing special characters such as '", & or emojis are more challenging to read.

Steps to Reproduce:

  1. Create a new topic draft and paste the following text into the title field:
    Drafts don't like "special" characters like & in titles
  2. Add some text to the body so the draft is saved.
  3. Navigate to my/activity/drafts (e.g., via the “My drafts” link in the sidebar).
  4. Observe that the title is displayed as:
    Drafts don't like "special" characters like & in titles
    instead of the expected:
    Drafts don't like "special" characters like & in titles.

This also affects drafts for replies. When you draft a reply to 🇩🇪 Fehler in der Deutschen Übersetzung? Hier melden! - #101 by Moin, you see:

Thanks for noting this, @Moin — we’re planning some work on the drafts list soon and have noted that this should be fixed at that time.
