Overrides Drupal\Core\Entity\EntityFormController::save().

Saves the entity. This is called after submit() has built the entity from the form values. Do not override submit() as save() is the preferred method for entity form controllers.

\Drupal\Core\Form\FormStateInterface $form_state: An associative array containing the current state of the form.
