I have changed menu_bar_items and tool_bar_items in keyboard.c to not
look for keymap and local-map properties, and I have added comments to
the code explaining why we don't look at those maps.

I'll discuss with Eli how to fix the documentation in the lisp ref.

However, the old code wasn't really correct (it looked at the keymaps
in the wrong order), so instead of keeping the (messy/buggy) old code,
I have replaced it with simpler and cleaner code which handles just
the "normal" keymaps.  I hope that is ok.
