24.3; insert-char no longer inserts "bell" control character |

In Emacs 24.3, typing
C-x 8 RET bell RET
results in character #x1f541 being inserted (which on my system is
displayed as a box with text 01F 514 inside).
I would expect the command to insert character #x7 (ASCII BEL
character, C-g) instead, which is also the behaviour that I get in
Emacs 23.4.

Upon further investigation, BELL seems to be the only char who doesn't
have a new-name and whose old-name is shadowed by some other char's
new-name. So rather than change the code to handle such situations,
I special-cased BELL.
