bug#71648: 30.0.50; Allow which-key to report on translation bindings

[Justin Burkett]

The purpose of which-key was to show the commands that are available
following an incomplete key sequence. If I understand correctly, these
maps don't hold commands and anyway would be processed before
which-key "sees" the current incomplete key sequence.

If I understand correctly, if "C-d x" translates to "C-c x" then
which-key I believe would see the sequence "C-c x" and find the
bindings following that sequence. I'm not sure how or why we would
want to display the information that "C-d x" translates to "C-c x".
