Re: view-lossage should output to new buffer *Lossage*, not *Help*

view-lossage should output to new buffer *Lossage*, not *Help*.
1. If the user accidentally calls any other help function after
   view-lossage, he will destroy the contents of the *Help* buffer,
   where there is no undo available.  There is no way to get back the
   information destroyed, as emacs has a hard limit of 100 keystrokes
   of "lossage".

2. In these days where even a *Hello Kitty* buffer isn't seen as a
   luxury, I'd say a personal buffer for irreplaceable information
   should be OK.

3. Even the pros sometimes wipe out the C-h l output they were about
   to use for a bug report by an inadvertent second C-h <something>.
