display_mode_element change

[Romain Francoise]

The buffer name in the modeline used to be displayed in bold, but
since the following change it is no longer the case:

	* xdisp.c (decode_mode_spec): New arg string.
	(display_mode_element): Adjust for the above change.

This change was to display, for instance, Indic buffer name
correctly, but, I found that display_string doesn't use a
face in mode-line-format when LISP_STRING is given.  As I
don't have a good idea to make display_string use that face
for LISP_STRING at the moment, I cancelled that change.

Displaying Indic buffer name correctly should be fixed when
we change the composition not to use a text property.

I guess we need to merge the text-properties from `elt'
into the string before passing it to display_string.
