bug#3904: 23.1.50; [PATCH] keyboard translating with timer doesn't work well

[Naohiro Aota]

I found evaluating the following code outputs "abbbbb ...", and
M-x view-lossage after that shows "b b b b b ...".

(progn
  (keyboard-translate ?a ?b)
  (push ?a unread-command-events)
  (setq my-timer
        (run-with-idle-timer 1 t (lambda () (push ?a unread-command-events)))))

This result suggests three problems.

1. If a timer handler function uses `sit-for' (or any function push a
   key to `unread-command-events'), the key would be translated once
   more.

2. idle-timer function should run "only once for each time Emacs
   becomes idle", but it seems the above function is called so many times.

3. `view-lossage' shouldn't show such stroke: "b b b b b ...".

I don't know this is the right way, but it seems the patch below solves
all the problem above.

        * keyboard.c (read_char): When event set by a timer, sentinel or
        filter, skip keyboard translating and key recording.
