Fixed several issues in printing tracebacks (PyTraceBack_Print()).

Improve tk event exception tracebacks in IDLE. When tk event handling is
driven by IDLE's run loop, a confusing and distracting queue.EMPTY traceback
context is no longer added to tk event exception tracebacks.  The traceback
is now the same as when event handling is driven by user code.  Patch based
on a suggestion by Serhiy Storchaka.

IDLE -- Restrict shell prompt manipulation to the shell. Editor and output
windows only see an empty last prompt line.  This simplifies the code and
fixes a minor bug when newline is inserted. Sys.ps1, if present, is read on
Shell start-up, but is not set or changed.

Test_code_module now passes if run after test_idle, which sets ps1.
The code module uses sys.ps1 if present or sets it to '>>> ' if not.
Test_code_module now properly tests both behaviors.  Ditto for ps2.

Use non-Latin characters in the IDLE's Font settings sample. Even if one
selects a font that defines a limited subset of the unicode Basic
Multilingual Plane, tcl/tk will use other fonts that define a character. The
expanded example give users of non-Latin characters a better idea of what
they might see in IDLE's shell and editors. To make room for the expanded
sample, frames on the Font tab are re-arranged. The Font/Tabs help explains
a bit about the additions.

Simplify the API of IDLE's Module Browser.
Passing a widget instead of an flist with a root widget opens the option of
creating a browser frame that is only part of a window.  Passing a full file
name instead of pieces assumed to come from a .py file opens the possibility
of browsing python files that do not end in .py.

Rename IDLE's module browser from Class Browser to Module Browser. The
original module-level class and method browser became a module browser, with
the addition of module-level functions, years ago. Nested classes and
functions were added yesterday.  For back-compatibility, the virtual event
<<open-class-browser>>, which appears on the Keys tab of the Settings
dialog, is not changed. Patch by Cheryl Sabella.

The ``PyExc_RecursionErrorInst`` singleton is removed and
``PyErr_NormalizeException()`` does not use it anymore. This singleton is
persistent and its members being never cleared may cause a segfault during
finalization of the interpreter. See also issue #22898.
