Bug description:
  [ Impact ]

  Autosave files are not removed from evolution local state directories
  (and windows leaked)

  
  [ Test case ]

  1. Open evolution, and start to compose a new email
  2. Write enough text and wait few minutes so that this command returns a file
     ls -l ~/.local/share/evolution/.evolution-composer.autosave-*
  3. Close the email composer window, hitting "Do not save"
  4. ls -l ~/.local/share/evolution/.evolution-composer.autosave-* should list 
no files
  5. Opening and closing again evolution should not ask to restore the previous 
email

  
  [ Regression potential ]

  No sounds could be performed during some UI actions

  ---

  Running Ubuntu MATE, Ubuntu 22.04.1 LTS. Evolution v3.44.1-0ubuntu1
  was installed with the distribution on a new system and received
  settings imported from an earlier version on another computer.

  When composing an email, if the process takes long enough an autosave
  file is created as ~/.local/share/evolution/.evolution-
  composer.autosave-xxxxxx ("xxxxxx" is a random 6 character string).
  When the email is successfully sent, the autosave file SHOULD be
  deleted. It's not. When evolution is shut down and restarted I'm asked
  if I want to recover an unfinished email. Answering No to this will
  delete the autosave file, but otherwise it persists and the recovery
  query recurs the next time I open evolution.

  Other people are having the same issue, see
  https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/evolution/-/issues/1972. The Gnome
  people aren't dealing with it, perhaps considering it a distro-
  specific bug.

  On a system used by many people this is a potential security issue.
