Rework SimpleDialog and Dialog to match the look and feel of the native Tk
dialogs ::tk_dialog and ::tk::MessageBox.
* SimpleDialog is a Python port of ::tk_dialog and Dialog a base class
modelled on ::tk::MessageBox. Both adopt the message-box keyboard
conventions: button accelerators, a default ring that follows the keyboard
focus, and a <Return> binding that invokes the focused button.
* Both classes gain a use_ttk parameter that selects the classic Tk or the
themed ttk widgets. It controls the widget set and the appearance that the
two procedures style differently, but not the keyboard behaviour.
* Update _place_window with the Tk 9.1 placement refinements.
* The new helpers _temp_grab_focus (a modal grab/focus context manager),
_underline_ampersand and _find_alt_key_target (ports of the Tk
accelerator-key procedures) can be reused by other tkinter dialogs, as
_setup_dialog already is.
* Fix several defects uncovered while comparing with the Tcl sources.
* Improve the simpledialog demo.

Arbitrary keyword arguments are now forwarded to the underlying
Menubutton and can override OptionMenu's default appearance options.
The positional API is unchanged.

Wrap the Tk 9.0 ``ttk::style theme styles ?themeName?`` subcommand as
ttk.Style.theme_styles(themename=None), returning the list of styles
defined in a theme (the current theme if themename is omitted).

Wrap three long-standing Tk commands that had no tkinter wrapper:
* Misc.tk_appname() queries or sets the name used to communicate with the
application through the send command (Tk 8.5).
* Misc.tk_useinputmethods() queries or sets whether Tk uses the X Input
Methods (XIM) for filtering events (Tk 8.5).
* Misc.tk_caret() sets or queries the per-display caret location used for
accessibility and for placing the input method window (Tk 8.5).

Add parameters mapping to Tk photo image options that previously had no
tkinter equivalent:
* the format parameter of PhotoImage.put() (Tk 8.6),
* the metadata parameter of PhotoImage.put(), read(), write() and data()
(Tk 9.0),
* the withalpha parameter of PhotoImage.get() (Tk 9.0).

Wrap the photo image "redither" Tk command (since Tk 8.5) as the method
PhotoImage.redither(), which recalculates the dithered image in each
window where it is displayed (useful when the image data was supplied in
pieces), completing the wrapping of the photo image subcommands.

Wrap three long-standing Tk commands that had no tkinter wrapper:
* Menu.postcascade() posts the submenu of a cascade entry (Tk 8.5),
complementing the existing post() and unpost() methods.
* Misc.tk_scaling() queries or sets the scaling factor in pixels per
point used to convert between physical units and pixels (Tk 8.4).
* Misc.tk_inactive() returns the user idle time in milliseconds, and can
reset that timer (Tk 8.5).

Wrap the Tk canvas commands "rchars" (replace the text or coordinates of
items, since Tk 8.6) and "rotate" (rotate the coordinates of items about
an origin, new in Tk 9.0) as the methods Canvas.rchars() and
Canvas.rotate(), complementing the existing dchars/insert and move/scale
methods.

Wrap the enhanced ttk::treeview widget commands added in Tk 9.1 (TIP 740),
and the detached query added in Tk 9.0, as tkinter.ttk.Treeview methods:
item navigation and queries (after_item, before_item, depth, haschildren,
visible, size, range, identifier, current), opening, hiding, sorting and
searching (expand, collapse, hide, unhide, sort, search, search_all,
search_cell, search_all_cells), cell focus, selection and tagging
(cellfocus, cellselection and its set/add/remove cell-list and *_range
rectangle forms, anchor/includes/present, tag_cell_add/remove/has), and the
detached query (detached, detached_all).
The expand() and collapse() methods, without recurse, also work on Tk older
than 9.1, where they are emulated via the item -open option.

Wrap the Tk "validate" widget command of the entry and spinbox widgets as
the methods Entry.validate() and Spinbox.validate(), forcing an evaluation
of the validatecommand independently of the validate option and returning
whether the value is valid.

Document where widget methods shadow inherited Misc, geometry-manager and
Wm methods, correct the inaccurate "size/bbox is an alias of
grid_size/grid_bbox" claims, and add "# overrides X" comments at the
definitions.
Also document the geometry-manager ambiguity: the short names forget, info,
slaves, content and propagate are defined by Pack, Place and Grid but
resolve to the pack variant.
Cross-reference the window-manager methods grid, forget and state with the
same-named grid geometry manager, Pack.forget and ttk.Widget.state.

Wrap the Tk commands "wm stackorder" (toplevel stacking order, since
Tk 8.4), "wm iconbadge" (application icon badge, new in Tk 9.0) and
"winfo isdark" (dark mode detection, new in Tk 9.0) as the methods
Wm.wm_stackorder(), Wm.wm_iconbadge() and Misc.winfo_isdark(), with the
usual stackorder and iconbadge short aliases.

Wrap the Tk text widget "sync" and "pendingsync" subcommands, which
control and report the synchronization of the displayed view with the
underlying text when line heights have not yet been computed.
Wrap the Tk text widget "edit canundo" and "edit canredo" subcommands,
which report whether the undo and redo stacks are non-empty.

Expose the %d substitution as the tkinter.Event attributes:
* "detail" for Enter, Leave, FocusIn, FocusOut, and ConfigureRequest events
* "user_data" for virtual events

* Add parameters nolinestop and strictlimits in the tkinter.Text.search() method.
* Add the tkinter.Text.search_all() method.
* Add more tests for tkinter.Text.search().
* stopindex is now only ignored if it is None.
Callbacks registered in the tkinter module now take arguments as
various Python objects (int, float, bytes, tuple), not just str.
To restore the previous behavior set tkinter module global wantobject to 1
before creating the Tk object or call the wantobject() method of the Tk object
with argument 1.
Calling it with argument 2 restores the current default behavior.
This is an experimental feature, for internal use.
Setting tkinter._debug = True before creating the root window enables
printing every executed Tcl command (or a Tcl command equivalent to the
used Tcl C API).
This will help to convert a Tkinter example into Tcl script to check
whether the issue is caused by Tkinter or exists in the underlying Tcl/Tk
library.
* Add PhotoImage.read() to read an image from a file.
* Add PhotoImage.data() to get the image data.
* Add background and grayscale parameters to PhotoImage.write().
* Add the PhotoImage method copy_replace() to copy a region
from one image to other image, possibly with pixel zooming and/or
subsampling.
* Add from_coords parameter to PhotoImage methods copy(), zoom() and subsample().
* Add zoom and subsample parameters to PhotoImage method copy().
Change automatically generated tkinter.Checkbutton widget names to
avoid collisions with automatically generated tkinter.ttk.Checkbutton
widget names within the same parent widget.
By default, it preserves an inconsistent behavior of older Python
versions: packs the count into a 1-tuple if only one or none
options are specified (including 'update'), returns None instead of 0.
Except that setting wantobjects to 0 no longer affects the result.
Add a new parameter return_ints: specifying return_ints=True makes
Text.count() always returning the single count as an integer
instead of a 1-tuple or None.
* When called with a single argument to get a value, it allow to omit
the minus prefix.
* It can be called with keyword arguments to set attributes.
* w.wm_attributes(return_python_dict=True) returns a dict instead of
a tuple (it will be the default in future).
* Setting wantobjects to 0 no longer affects the result.
Previously, "tag_unbind(tag, sequence, funcid)" methods of Text and
Canvas widgets destroyed the current binding for "sequence", leaving
"sequence" unbound, and deleted the "funcid" command.
Now they remove only "funcid" from the binding for "sequence", keeping
other commands, and delete the "funcid" command.
They leave "sequence" unbound only if "funcid" was the last bound command.
winfo_id() converts the result of "winfo id" command to integer, but
"winfo pathname" command requires an argument to be a hexadecimal number
on Win64.
Previously, "widget.unbind(sequence, funcid)" destroyed the current binding
for "sequence", leaving "sequence" unbound, and deleted the "funcid"
command.
Now it removes only "funcid" from the binding for "sequence", keeping
other commands, and deletes the "funcid" command.
It leaves "sequence" unbound only if "funcid" was the last bound command.
