visState title is always "New Visualization" instead of actual title

Version 4.4.0-snapshot

Commit SHA 57ca6dc

1. Create a new visualization
2. save it with any unique name
3. go to Settings > Objects and export the new visualization
4. open the exported JSON file
5. In the JSON below you see the "title" is "New Line Chart", but in visState the title is "New Visualization"

This is a regression from Kibana 4.3.1. But I don't know what that visState title is used for so I'm not sure of the priority of this issue.

I just retested in 4.3.1 and it's not saving title in visState at all. I think it was an upgrade case from 4.3.1 to 4.4.0 where I saw the visState.title matching the title. I'll try to go through the upgrade again.

If I import a visualization JSON that was created in 4.3.1 (and doesn't have visState.title) into 4.4.0, then when I export it again it has the visState.title matching the title (see below). I don't know if it got the visState.title added during import or export.

But if I create a new visualization in 4.4.0 it gets a visState.title "New Visualization". And import/export doesn't change that.

This doesn't appear to be an issue anymore.
