Fix input method translation near read-only text

* lisp/international/quail.el (quail-input-method): Don't disable
input method when the character after point has the read-only
property.  Suggested by Evgeny Zajcev <lg.zevlg@gmail.com>
(Bug#44466)

* doc/emacs/mule.texi (Input Methods): Document that input methods
are inhibited in read-only text.
