improve/port Tk event handling #1473

@JeffBezanson

Description

@JeffBezanson

extras/tk.jl currently uses an X11-specific hack to handle events. We need to use a more portable method of integrating Tcl/Tk's event loop with our own.

We may need to use Tcl_CreateEventSource, as documented here: http://www.tcl.tk/man/tcl8.4/TclLib/Notifier.htm

This may require adding features like timers to our event loop, which will happen already with the libuv branch.
