PR: Unassigned allowed commands (ipython#14564)

From git git:

> Modify binding mechanism to allow binding to one of a set of
whitelisted commands, Add five such commands ("beginning_of_buffer",
"end_of_buffer", "end_of_line", "forward_word", "unix_line_discard").

Currently, only commands which are assigned by default are allowed to be
reassigned:

```python
        known_commands = {
            create_identifier(binding.command): binding.command
            for binding in KEY_BINDINGS
        }
        ...
            if command_id not in known_commands:
                ...
                raise ValueError(
                    f"{command_id} is not a known shortcut command."
                    f" Allowed commands are: \n - {allowed_commands}"
                )
```

This PR adds a List UNASSIGNED_ALLOWED_COMMANDS and updates
`known_commands` (now renamed to be more clear as `allowed_commands`):

```python
        allowed_commands.update({
                create_identifier(command): command
                for command in UNASSIGNED_ALLOWED_COMMANDS
        })
```

The five unassigned allowed commands are:


```python
UNASSIGNED_ALLOWED_COMMANDS = [
    nc.beginning_of_buffer,
    nc.end_of_buffer,
    nc.end_of_line,
    nc.forward_word,
    nc.unix_line_discard,
]
```

Motivation tldr: Until now, it is not possible to bind eg the common
keybindng `ctrl+e` to prompt_toolkit's `end_of_line` (because it is not
bound by default).

Full motivation: ipython#14369
