Preload iso-trans.el

* lisp/loadup.el ("international/iso-transl"): Load by default so
that we get `Alt-' bindings (bug#21310).

* lisp/international/iso-transl.el: Remove autoloads and some
comments.

 ** Miscellaneous
 
+---
+*** iso-transl is now preloaded.
+This means that keystrokes like 'Alt-[' are defined by default,
+instead of only becoming available after doing (for instance)
+'C-x 8 <letter>'.
+
 *** New user option 'completions-detailed'.
 When non-nil, some commands like 'describe-symbol' show more detailed
 completions with more information in completion prefix and suffix.
