accessible-keymaps gives wrong result for autoloaded prefix keys

[Drew Adams]

emacs -Q

M-: (accessible-keymaps (current-global-map) [f2])

This returns nil.

(accessible-keymaps (current-global-map) []) shows this in the global
map: (f2 . 2C-command).

The problem is that the `symbol-function' of `2C-command' is (autoload
"two-column" nil t keymap).

`accessible-keymaps' cannot do its job correctly, and return a correct
result, unless it loads two-column.el when it needs to.  Emacs should
consider that using `accessible-keymaps' this way should load the
file, just as using `C-h k f2' or `C-h f 2C-command' loads it.

The same is true for all other autoloaded commands bound to keymaps
(prefix keys).
