[ESS] ess patch: avoid (error "Invalid buffer")

[Sam Steingold]

when ess-help-kill-bogus-buffers is set to t, I get this error:

Debugger entered--Lisp error: (error "Invalid buffer")
  signal(error ("Invalid buffer"))
  error("Invalid buffer")
  display-buffer(#<killed buffer>)
  ess-display-temp-buffer(#<killed buffer>)
  ess--switch-to-help-buffer(#<killed buffer>)
  ess-display-help-on-object(#("zz" 0 2 (fontified t)))
  inferior-R-input-sender(#<process R> #("?zz" 0 3 (fontified t)))
  comint-send-input()
  inferior-ess-send-input()
  call-interactively(inferior-ess-send-input nil nil)

this patch avoids it:

     * ess-help.el (ess-display-help-on-object): do not try to display a
       dead buffer.
