OK, I rebound occur-edit-mode to "e" and removed the read-only
properties, with some additional code changes to make Occur Edit mode
work without requiring read-only text.

non-read-only Occur mode, we could handle it in a way similar to diff
mode (via minor-mode-overriding-map-alist), but that is for another day.
