bug#3751: 23.0.95; C-h H does not display hourglass cursor

On MS Windows, "C-h H" takes as much as 10 seconds (on a 3GHz
machine), but no hourglass cursor is displayed during that time,
making it look like nothing is going on.

If displaying an hourglass cursor during the time Emacs prepares to
display etc/HELLO is difficult, at the very least please display some
informative message that ends with "please wait..." in the echo area.
