[3.10] bpo-42560: rework external references in Tkinter docs (GH-27838) (GH-27893)
- reorganized from two sections (tkinter vs. tcl/tk) into three (tkinter, tcl/tk, and books) - main (recommended) tkinter docs have one tutorial (tkdocs) and one reference (shipman), added better descriptions - dropped link to Tkinter page on wiki (suggestion by E. Paine; outdated, most material already linked to from python.org) - replaced Tcl/Tk recent man pages and core dev home with single link to main Tcl/Tk page (which holds both of these) - updated Modern Tkinter link to book page on TkDocs site (was Amazon link to old version), dropped description - replaced Grayson book by Moore book (newer, covers ttk) - changed Ousterhout ref to second edition, covers ttk - dropped link to Welch book (old). (cherry picked from commit d1049d1) Co-authored-by: Mark Roseman <mark@markroseman.com>
