* lisp/help.el (help-form-show): New function, to be called from C.
Put help-form output in a buffer named differently than *Help*.

instead of using internal_with_output_to_temp_buffer.
(Qhelp_form_show): New var.
* src/lisp.h (internal_with_output_to_temp_buffer): Remove prototype.
* src/print.c (internal_with_output_to_temp_buffer): Function deleted.
