Description
Expected behavior
When there's a configuration change such as a rotation, the site address error should be preserved so the user doesn't have to resubmit to see the error again.
Actual behavior
The error is displayed when the site address discovery failed. Once the screen is rotated the error disappears.
Steps to reproduce the behavior
- Open the app and select the option to add a self-hosted site.
- Enter a WordPress site address that will be invalid so that an error is shown.
- Rotate the device to trigger a configuration change.
- Observe that the error state of the site address input has disappeared.
Tested on [device], Android [version], WPAndroid [version]
Nexus 6p, Android 8.0, WPAndroid 12.9

Research direction
Start by reproducing the self-hosted site address discovery error in the login flow, then rotate the device to trigger the configuration change. Trace how the error state is handled across that change; done means the error remains visible without requiring the site address to be resubmitted.
