Thanks for the remider.  I've changed copy-to-register and
copy-rectangle-to-register to deactivate the mark.

I left prepend-to-register and append-to-register alone for now; there
may be cases where users want to keep the mark active for those
commands, but I'm not certain.

As for C-x r k on read-only buffers, the mark is now deactivated, but
only if kill-read-only-ok is non-nil (similar to C-w).
