Improve Helm configuration

The current prelude-helm only uses a single command of Helm, which
is a waste given how Helm contains many other commands. When
prelude-helm is activated, users should be able to utilize all of these
useful commands. If a user wants to use Helm, he will want to use all of
its features anyway.

prelude-helm is configured that it is able to be used with this [guide](http://tuhdo.github.io/helm-intro.html).

+#### Helm
+
+Helm is setup according to this guide: [A Package in a league of its own: Helm](http://tuhdo.github.io/helm-intro.html).
+
+You can learn Helm usage and key bindings following the guide. <kbd>C-c h</kbd>
+is Prelude's default prefix key for Helm. If you don't remember any key binding,
+append <kbd>C-h</kbd> after <kbd>C-c h</kbd> for a list of key bindings in Helm.

 #### Key-chords
 
 **Key-chords are available only when the `prelude-key-chord` module has been enabled.**
