I tried various approaches, but none seemed to work in a satisfactory
way -- adding a variable to inhibit recording last-repeatable-command
didn't work well, because of how it's set from command_loop_1, and a
blocklist just seemed odd.

But the main problem here is that yes-or-no-p now overwrites
last-repeatable-command with exit-minibuffer, and that's a regression at
least, so I've fixed this specific problem.  But I'm still not sure
whether it should be fixed in a more general way, and perhaps a
blocklist is the way to go, anyway...  but the reason I didn't do that
is because self-insert-command would have to be on that list for
yes-or-no-p to not override `repeat', and that's a behavioural change.

So I went with the easy fix.
