bug#15200: isearch-other-meta-char and shift

Surprisingly, I see no problems with this approach.
First I tried to implement the logic of KEEP-PRED
without using set-temporary-overlay-map, i.e.
by adding a new function isearch-mode-keep-pred
to pre-command-hook.  isearch-mode-keep-pred is created
from isearch-other-meta-char by removing all re-reading,
and adding a new condition

  ((lookup-key isearch-mode-map key nil))

to not exit Isearch mode for Isearch key bindings.
Otherwise, Isearch mode is exited by isearch-done
and this-command is executed in global context.

Later isearch-mode-keep-pred could be further simplified,
e.g. instead of calling command-execute for
isearch-allow-scroll, it could pass execution
to global key binding and add isearch post-processing
of isearch-back-into-window to post-command-hook, etc.
