Empty fields are not resolved automatically

Problem/Motivation

When creating an article and node fields are left empty, the current method for comparing the FieldItemList with->equals()
method does not detect that the change can be resolved automatically.

Steps to reproduce

  1. Create a article node(node/1) with user 1
  2. Add title: Lorem
  3. Leave body field empty/untouched
  4. Save node and reopen the edit form for later use
  5. Edit node/1 with user 2
  6. Edit title: Lorem Ipsum
  7. Edit body: Lorem Ipsum
  8. Save node
  9. Activate user 1 node edit form and resave the ”old” node form in step 4.
  10. User 1 should receive a conflict notice with Title and body field, even there is no conflict with body field value as user 1 has not edited the field.

Proposed resolution

Add additional checks to FieldComparatorDefault.php and DefaultConflictDiscovery.php when the local field value is has default value and autoresolve these conflicts.

    Hi,
    Here is fresh version of the patch against 8.x-2.0-alpha5. I think I had marked the patch against the wrong branch.
