Actually, I can imagine when someone might want to keep a transient map
active with KEEP-PRED, but still deactivate it after a timeout.  So
a separate TIMEOUT looks cleaner.

Anyway, repeat-mode has separate options for repeat-exit-timeout
and constructs a message, so I could copy the same code from repeat-mode
to set-transient-map.
