bug#6545: Menu entry for describe-package

Hi.

I suggest adding a "Describe Package" menu item in the "Help > Describe"
menu, in analogy to the other `describe-*' functions. The attached patch
adds the menu entry.

Looking at the neighboring entries, it seems like the function should be
bound to C-h p. However, this binding is already in use (by
`finder-by-keyword').

The subject has (without much success) been brought up on emacs-devel:
http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/emacs-devel/2010-06/msg00868.html

Kind regards,
Jan Moringen
