Not sure which is best either.

Hmm... now that I look at it more closely, I see that `describe-mode`
can't work without loading `help-fns` (e.g. because it calls
`find-lisp-object-file-name`), so there's no point having
`describe-mode` preloaded.

I.e. I think the better answer is that `describe-mode` should move to
`help-fns.el`.
