bug#8414: describe-bindings does not list text properties and overlay bi

Dear Emacs Professionals/Nurds,

Since back in the 1980's I've depended on C-h b to tell me what all the
keys are currently bound to in the buffer I'm in.

I even printed them out on paper and studied them all.

  C-h b runs the command describe-bindings, which is an interactive
  compiled Lisp function in `help.el'.

  Show a list of all defined keys, and their definitions.
  We put that list in a buffer, and display the buffer.

So you can understand my shock upon finding out,

OK, I'll hereby report it.
