doc: Correctly get last entry from DOCSTRINGS file (bug #49224). * help.cc (raw_help_from_docstrings_file): If eof is hit, seek the file pointer back to the end of the data in the file. Compute the length of the last DOCSTRING entry as the difference between the end of the file and the start of the last entry. Reset the eof flag manually so that the while loop will exit.
