In previous Emacsen, middle-button would be handled by the terminal
emulator which would end up sending the selection as if you had typed
those chars (so they'd sometimes be interpreted as key-combos).

Now we use a special mode in the terminal emulator which means the
terminal emulator actually tells us that it's a "paste" operation.

So the problem is that isearch currently doesn't have a binding for
xterm-paste.  We should add one, just like we added one to global-map.
