bug#7600: 24.0.50; Incorrect value shown in Customize after setq

[Drew Adams]

emacs -Q
M-: (setq mouse-buffer-menu-mode-mult t)
 
Note that that value is invalid wrt the defcustom.
 
C-h v mouse-buffer-menu-mode-mult
 
 mouse-buffer-menu-mode-mult is a variable defined in `mouse.el'.
 Its value is t
 Original value was 4
 
M-x customize-option mouse-buffer-menu-mode-mult
 
The Customize buffer shows this:
 
   Hide mouse-buffer-menu-mode-mult: 4
    State : CHANGED outside Customize. (mismatch)
   Group the buffers by the major mode groups...
 
C-h v still shows the same thing - the value is t.
M-: mouse-buffer-menu-mode-mult ; confirms the value is t
 
The Customize buffer should show the value as what it is: t.  Then it is
correct to show "(mismatch)".  But 4 is incorrectly shown as the value.
And 4 would _not_ be a mismatch.
 

Also: `Hide' is placed poorly in the UI.  It has the same font etc. as
the ordinary text.  So it is simply read as text, and the result makes
no sense when read.

The code apparently showed the standard value on purpose, but I agree
that showing the current value is more intuitive, so I changed it.
