Consolidate minibuffer and completion changes.

They are only deactivated after point motion commands that are not
shift-translated, or after commands that would ordinarily deactivate
the mark in Transient Mark mode (e.g., any command that modifies the
buffer).

** Minibuffer changes
+++
*** When M-n in the minibuffer reaches the end of the list of defaults,
it adds the completion list to the end, so next M-n continues putting
completion items to the minibuffer.  The same principle applies to
incremental search commands as well: C-s or C-M-s starts searching

*** A list of regexp default values is available via M-n for `occur',
`keep-lines', `flush-lines' and `how-many'.  This list includes the active
region in transient-mark-mode, the word under the cursor, the last Isearch
regexp, the last Isearch string and the last replacement regexp.

---
*** When enable-recursive-minibuffers is non-nil, operations which use
switch-to-buffer (such as C-x b and C-x C-f) do not fail any more when
used in a minibuffer or a dedicated window.  Instead, they fallback on
using pop-to-buffer, which will use some other window.  This change

*** The variable read-file-name-completion-ignore-case overrides
completion-ignore-case for file name completion.

*** The variable read-buffer-completion-ignore-case overrides
completion-ignore-case for buffer name completion.

** Face changes

*** S-down-mouse-1 now pops up a menu for changing the font and text
size of the default face in the current buffer.  The face is changed

other window applications).  If you enable this, you might want to
bind `mouse-yank-primary' to Mouse-2.

*** You can disable kill ring commands from accessing the primary
selection by setting `x-select-enable-primary' to nil.

** Completion changes
---
*** `completion-styles' can be customized to choose your favorite
completion style.
---
*** The default completion styles include a form of partial-completion.
---
*** The new command `minibuffer-force-complete' chooses one of the
possible completions, rather than stopping at the common prefix.
+++
*** If `completion-auto-help' is `lazy', Emacs shows the completions
buffer only on the second attempt to complete.  This was already
supported in `partial-completion-mode'.

** Continuation lines can now be wrapped at word boundaries
(word-wrapping).  This is controlled by the new per-buffer variable
`word-wrap'.  Word wrapping does not take place if continuation lines
are not shown, e.g. if truncate-lines is non-nil.  The most convenient
