`help` function: misleading output in interactive mode, confusing output for `help(help)`

When using the built-in help function in interactive mode, the current output when no topic is found is potentially misleading, in that the suggestions offered are not usable at the interactive help prompt, e.g.:

help> something
No Python documentation found for 'something'.
Use help() to get the interactive help utility.
Use help(str) for help on the str class.

Typing either of the suggested expressions at the help prompt will, of course, not work, because they're meant for use in Python code. And the suggestion about str seems to be irrelevant in interactive mode, where everything is a string anyway. I think it would be better not to offer these suggestions at all when running in interactive mode.

Additionally, running help(help) shows a large amount of irrelevant information related to the _Helper class from _sitebuiltins.py, with the usage instructions buried inside of it:

Help on _Helper in module _sitebuiltins object:

class _Helper(builtins.object)
 |  Define the builtin 'help'.
 |
 |  This is a wrapper around pydoc.help that provides a helpful message
 |  when 'help' is typed at the Python interactive prompt.
 |
 |  Calling help() at the Python prompt starts an interactive help session.
 |  Calling help(thing) prints help for the python object 'thing'.
 |
 |  Methods defined here:
 |
 |  __call__(self, *args, **kwds)
 |      Call self as a function.
 |
 |  __repr__(self)
 |      Return repr(self).
 |
 |  ----------------------------------------------------------------------
 |  Data descriptors defined here:
 |
 |  __dict__
 |      dictionary for instance variables
 |
 |  __weakref__
 |      list of weak references to the object

I think this could be improved by showing usage instructions when invoking help(help) from Python, but preserving the current behavior of repeating the intro text when looking up help via the interactive prompt.

I'll put in a PR shortly that attempts to improve both of these.

從 _sitebuiltins.py 中參照的 _Helper 實作開始，追蹤互動式說明提示如何處理缺少的主題與 help(help)。完成的判定標準是：互動模式不再顯示無法使用的建議，且 help(help) 提供使用說明而不包含無關的類別詳細資訊。
