(Active Keymaps): Clarify role of underlying textprop and overlay keymaps for display strings.

94197:3ce489895028

  When the key sequence starts with a mouse event (optionally preceded
by a symbolic prefix), the active keymaps are determined based on the
position in that event.  If the event happened on a string embedded
with a @code{display}, @code{before-string}, or @code{after-string}
property (@pxref{Special Properties}), the non-@code{nil} map
properties of the string override those of the buffer.

  The @dfn{global keymap} holds the bindings of keys that are defined
regardless of the current buffer, such as @kbd{C-f}.  The variable
@code{global-map} holds this keymap, which is always active.
