END Key broken in emacs -nw in XTerm

[Kirk Hilliard <kirk@debian.org>]

xterm now has the following resource set:

*VT100.Translations: \
  #override ~Shift ~Ctrl ~Meta <Key>BackSpace: string("\177")\n \
            ~Shift ~Ctrl ~Meta <Key>Delete: string("\033[3~")\n \
            ~Shift ~Ctrl ~Meta <Key>Home: string("\033[1~")\n   \
            ~Shift ~Ctrl ~Meta <Key>End: string("\033[4~")

(I'm not sure when this changed from what it used to be: "\033OH: for
 Home and "\033OF" for End.)

However all four flavors/versions of emacs contain lisp/term/xterm.el
files which say:

  (define-key function-key-map "\e[4~" [select])

Thus the END key does not work in "emacs -nw" in an xterm.

(The xemacs files also define "\e[1~" as [find], breaking the HOME key.)
