bug#50463: 28.0.50; Redundant version information in *Help* buffers


From: Eli Zaretskii
Subject: bug#50463: 28.0.50; Redundant version information in *Help* buffers
Date: Tue, 07 Sep 2021 21:30:00 +0300

From: eliz@HOME-C4E4A596F7.mail-host-address-is-not-set
--text follows this line--
To reproduce:

  emacs -Q
  C-h v xref-auto-jump-to-first-xref RET

(Many other variable names will also do.)

Observe in the *Help* buffer this text:

  This variable was introduced, or its default value was changed, in
  version 28.1 of Emacs.
  Probably introduced at or before Emacs version 28.1.

One of these two sentences is redundant.  I think if we have
information to produce the first one, the second one should be
omitted.

While at that, bonus points for moving this stuff to after the actual
doc string (except when the value is very long and is shown at the
end, in which case this information should be between the
documentation and the value).
