bug#14785: 24.3.50; isearchb.el; char-to-string and last-command-event

[Juri Linkov]

After loading isearchb.el, evaluating (isearchb-set-keybindings 'super)
and typing `s-a', it fails with the error

  Wrong type argument: characterp, 8388721

This patch seems to fix the bug:

PS: I wonder whether other similar places should be fixed too?
Grepping for `char-to-string' and `last-command-event':

./calc/calc-aent.el:282:     (calc-alg-entry (and auto (char-to-string 
last-command-event))))))
./calc/calc-aent.el:457:         (t (char-to-string last-command-event)))))
./calc/calc-misc.el:591:  (if (keymapp (key-binding (char-to-string 
last-command-event)))
./calc/calc.el:2438:      (insert (char-to-string last-command-event))
./emulation/vi.el:987:      (setq this-command (lookup-key vi-com-map 
(char-to-string last-command-event)))
./emulation/vi.el:992:  (setq this-command (lookup-key vi-com-map 
(char-to-string last-command-event))))
./eshell/esh-mode.el:477:   (char-to-string (if (symbolp last-command-event)
./international/quail.el:1599:  (concat quail-current-key (char-to-string 
last-command-event)))
./wdired.el:771:      (let ((new-bit (char-to-string last-command-event))

Maybe they don't fail when `last-command-event' is expected to be only
a character event.  But I don't know how to test most of these functions
to verify whether they fail or not.
