bug#19224: 24.4; elisp manual mode-line example mode-line-mode-name

[Kevin Ryde]

In the elisp manual node "Mode Line Top", the example setting of
`mode-line' shows

    '(:eval (mode-line-mode-name))

But function mode-line-mode-name doesn't seem to exist.

I know it's only an example, but it could be good if it worked as well
as illustrating the mode line features.

Indeed.  I've now changed the :eval example into

:eval (format-time-string "%F")

since there didn't seem to be any appropriate mode-line-* functions to
use here.
