bug#13480: 24.3.50; `C-w' from Isearch should translate newlines to spaces

[Dani Moncayo]

Hello,

I have `isearch-lax-whitespace' set to t in my init file, so that I
can search for a sequence of words regardless of whether there is line
breaks or plain spaces between them.

Now, if the text following point is "foo bar" and I do `C-s C-w C-w'
I'll be searching for any sequence of those two words, separated by
any whitespace (well, controlled by `search-whitespace-regexp').  Ok,
as expected.

But I've just noticed that if the text following point is
"foo<newline>bar" and I do the same, I'll be searching exactly for
that fixed sequence of 7 characters, including the <newline>.  Not
what I want, obviously.

So I propose that the command `isearch-yank-word-or-char' (C-w in
Isearch) DTRT in this case, i.e., when `search-whitespace-regexp' is
non-nil, translate the <newline> into a simple space when pulling text
from the buffer into the search string.

TIA.
