bug#15513: 24.2; isearch should clear selection in transient-mark-mode

[Yuri Khan]

This bug report will be sent to the Bug-GNU-Emacs mailing list
and the GNU bug tracker at debbugs.gnu.org.  Please check that
the From: line contains a valid email address.  After a delay of up
to one day, you should receive an acknowledgement at that address.

Please write in English if possible, as the Emacs maintainers
usually do not have translators for other languages.

Please describe exactly what actions triggered the bug, and
the precise symptoms of the bug.  If you can, give a recipe
starting from `emacs -Q':

1. Start `emacs -Q'. It opens Emacs with the default text in *scratch*
buffer:
;; This buffer is for notes you don't want[...]
1a. cua-mode is off, transient-mark-mode is on.
2. Move point before This.
3. Select the word This by pressing Ctrl+Shift+Right arrow.
4. Invoke isearch by pressing Ctrl+S.
5. Enter `notes' as the search string.

Observed behavior:
* Selection is extended to include the word that was found by isearch.

Expected behavior:
* Since isearch is a point movement command and such commands deactivate
the selection in transient-mark-mode, I expect selection to be
deactivated.
* If I press Ctrl+Space before searching, this indicates an explicit
request for persistent selection. In this case, the current behavior of
isearch is correct.
* Additionally, it might be nice if pressing Ctrl+Shift+S behaved
similarly to Shift+arrow keys, unconditionally activating the selection
and extending/shrinking it to include the match.
