[issue13659] Add a help() viewer for IDLE's Shell.

[maniram maniram]

New submission from maniram maniram <maniandram01 at gmail.com>:

If you call help() a few times on some objects, due to help()'s output IDLE's Shell Window becomes very long and it becomes difficult to scroll through the window.

I suggest a new window should be opened when help() is called in IDLE so that no help output comes in the IDLE Shell Window.

This bug doesn't affect the Python command-line on Linux (and I think Mac OS X) since help() uses the less program to display the help output.
