After pondering this some more, I don't think the having `C-h <mouse-2>'
in *Help* buffers giving a vaguely helpful (but ultimately confusing)
message warrants binding useless commands (that get in the way of
legitimate use cases, like globally rebinding <mouse-2>) makes that much
sense.

So I've now removed the bindings and made the commands obsolete.  We'll
see whether there's any negative reactions to this, I guess...
