(show_help_echo): Add parameters OBJECT and POS.

if HELP is a function, call it with OBJECT and POS as parameters
to get the help to display.
(gen_help_event, kbd_buffer_store_help_event): New functions.
(kbd_buffer_get_event): Construct the Lisp help-event differently.
(read_char): Call show_help_echo with new parameters.

-   MSG a string means display that string, MSG nil means clear the
-   help echo.  If MSG is neither a string nor nil, it is evaluated
-   to obtain a string.
+   HELP a string means display that string, HELP nil means clear the
+   help echo.  If HELP is a function, call it with OBJECT and POS as
+   arguments; the function should return a help string or nil for
+   none.  For all other types of HELP evaluate it to obtain a string.
+
+   OBJECT is the object where a `help-echo' property was found; POS
+   is the position within OBJECT where it was found.  OBJECT is nil
+   if HELP isn't from a `help-echo' text property.
 
    OK_TO_IVERWRITE_KEYSTROKE_ECHO non-zero means it's okay if the help
    echo overwrites a keystroke echo currently displayed in the echo
    area.
