(help-fns-function-description-header): Print functions' type
Instead of choosing English words to describe the kind of function, use the actual type of the function object (from `cl-type-of`) directly, and make it a button to display info about that type. * lisp/help-fns.el (help-fns-function-description-header): Use the function's type name in the description instead of "prose". Use `insert` instead of `princ`, so as to preserve the text-properties of the button. * lisp/emacs-lisp/cl-extra.el (cl-help-type): Move to `help-mode.el` and rename to `help-type`. (cl--describe-class): Adjust accordingly. * lisp/help-mode.el (help-type): New type, moved and renamed from `cl-extra.el`.
