Prepare tkinter for tcl 8.7/9.0 and tk 8.7

terryjreedy commented 1 year ago

@chrstphrchvz Chrisotpher Chavev, who did similar work preparing Perl for these anticipated releases, has opened several issues and PRs to do the the same for tkinter. Likely more will follow until 8.7.0 is released.

This issue is only for tracking these. All PRs should be attached to other issues.

Most of the changes are to tests. We can backport these to 3.11. Even if it is not completely ready for 8.7 when our bug-fixing ends, it will give Linux distributors a head start should they end up distributing both 3.11 and tcl/tk 8.7 simultaneously. We can deal with non-test code changes as they are needed. Anything not backported should be noted below.
