Description
When I have autosave: 2 enabled, open a readonly file, change something, and try to quit, micro tries to save the file.
Since the file is readonly, it asks whether to use sudo to save the file. If you hit n, it cancels the prompt but does not quit.

Research direction
Start by reproducing the issue with autosave: 2, a readonly file, a change, and quit; then trace the quit path and the sudo-save prompt handling. Done means declining the sudo prompt still allows quitting without saving the readonly file.
