Deleting/restoring pages removes their protection level.

Description:
Today I found that [[Wikipedia:Administrators' noticeboard]] and
[[Wikipedia:Administrators' noticeboard/Incidents]] were both unprotected from
moves, even though they should have been (the last entry in the protection log
was move:sysop). On [[User:Ral315/Protectiontest]] and
[[User:Ral315/Protectiontest2]], I tested a few things, finally figuring out
that the problem appears to be deletion and restoration. This appears to work
on any deletion and restoration, both partial and full. If oversight doesn't
affect it, this may not be an issue anymore, but since admins still can and will
delete and restore some pages for this, it might be serious enough to fix.
