[PP-1] Cannot have a post paid subscription

Post paid subscriptions never set up a subscription

If you set up a post-paid product + product variation and buy it, the initial product will go through the checkout with price of zero, so no payment information (e.g. card details) will be taken, and no subscription will be set up. Consequently no draft, no close and renew.

Steps to reproduce

Set up a billing schedule - I made mine short because I was testing: 1 hour, post-paid, fixed interval, not pro-rated. Do not allow free trials.
Set up a product variation type which is for a recurring product
Set up a product type with that variation type.
Set up a payment gateway. Do not use manual gateway. I used Stripe and Example on-site gateway. It would be useful to test a different gateway in case this is a gateway bug.
Set up a product of the product type and add a variation. For the variation choose a price larger than your minimum gateway price, if there is one - say £10 or $10 - and choose the post paid billing schedule you previously set up.
Go to your new product and add it to your cart
Go to your cart. You will see Subtotal = £10.00, Pay later = -£10.00, Total = £0.00
Click checkout
If you used the defaults for the gateway, you will be asked for billing details, but not for card details.
Review and complete the order
Check the list of orders - this order will be placed
Check the list of subscriptions - there will be no subscription for this order.
For bonus points, set up a pre-paid billing schedule and follow all the steps. You will find an order and a subscription.

My guess is that this is caused by the zero price which is not a trial.
