Consider not shipping lib/tk9.0/demos to save 1 MB #1095
Description
I'm about 99% sure people don't need this, but I wonder if demos/images gets inadvisably used somewhere.
$ du -sh "$(dirname "$(uv python find)")"/../lib/tk9.0/demos
1.2M /home/ubuntu/.local/share/uv/python/cpython-3.14-linux-x86_64-gnu/bin/../lib/tk9.0/demos
Also maybe worth deleting: Tcl translations (I assume we don't ship translation files for Python itself, right? do we?)

Removing these seems completely reasonable.
Debian does not ship the demos directory in the libtk package moving them into the tk-docs package.
remove tcl/tk translations and demo files from distributions (#1104)
