 Graphical output of plots (or other graphics objects) is hooked into
 `_repr_()`. Obviously, Python doesn't expect `repr` to have side effects
 so we get fun stuff like
 {{{
 sage: g = Graphics()
 sage: g?
 }}}
 showing a plot in addition to the help.

 This patch moves the decision logic into the displayhook, and makes `repr`
 always return a string representation as it should.

 Also, deprecate the `show_output()` function. Wat?
