Record history not being recorded if validation on metadata save is also enabled

[alexarobu]

Describe the bug
We noticed that if you enable from the settings both Force validation on metadata save and Enable record history recording are enabled, then the record history is not recorded.

To Reproduce
Steps to reproduce the behaviour:

1. Navigate to settings and tick the checkbox next to Enable record history recording (and save the settings changes)
2. Create a new record (or edit an existing record)
3. See the change being recorded in Admin console > Statistics and status > Versioning
4. Navigate to settings and tick the checkbox next to Force validation on metadata save (and save the settings changes)
5. Create a new record (or edit an existing record) - can be the same as before, but make a new change to it
6. See the change NOT being recorded anymore in Admin console > Statistics and status > Versioning

Expected behaviour
We expect these settings to work in parallel, so a user should be able to enable the validation on save and also be able to keep track of the record changes.

Just to add, I tested this in 4.2.5 and 4.2.9 as they are the versions we deploy to. This occurs in both versions.
