[PATCH v2 1/5] emacs: Retain text properties when toggling buttons

Previously, we lost any text properties applied to part buttons or
wash buttons when they were toggled because `insert' directly copies
the text properties of the string being inserted.  Fix this by
capturing the properties applied to the button beforehand and
re-applying them after inserting the new text.
