bug#11202: 24.0.93; shell.el: Documentation for M-x shell sometimes shows wrong keybinding for describe-mode

["David Röthlisberger" <david@rothlis.net>]

If I invoke 'M-x describe-function shell' when I am already in help-mode, the last sentence reads:

> (Type h in the shell buffer for a list of commands.)

(Normally --if describe-function is invoked from outside of help-mode-- it would read "C-h m" instead of "h".)

Patch below. Would you like me to provide a similar patch for all instances of "\\[describe-mode]" in the lisp directory?

Kind regards,
Dave.
