Atlased sprite is never unloaded from editor memory after exiting Play Mode
How to reproduce:
1. Open user-submitted project (asset_database_test)
2. Enter Play Mode
3. Click the 'Load atlased' button
4. Exit Play Mode
5. Open the Profiler window
6. In the detailed Memory Profiler take a sample of the Editor
7. Navigate to Assets > Texture2D
Expected result: Texture2D does not contain the atlased sprite since the Play Mode has been exited
Actual result: Texture2D contains the atlasted sprite
Reproducible with: 2017.4.21f1, 2018.3.7f1, 2019.1.0b4, 2019.2.0a4
Could not test with: 2019.2.0a5, 2019.2.0a6
Notes:
EditorUtility.UnloadUnusedAssetsImmediate and Resources.UnloadUnusedAssets() do not unload the texture from the Editor memory
Restarting the Editor unloads the Texture from the Editor memory as expected

Resolution Note (2019.3.X):
By design, they are not unloaded.
The SpriteAtlases in project held by SpriteAtlasDatabase are held in memory but the unused Textures are unloaded.
Note: This is only in the case of Editor. In Runtime, SpriteAtlasDatabase does not exist.
