Summary: Fix for duplicate "preferences" menu-OS X

Initial Comment:
Version 8.4.14 of  Tcl/Tk Aqua (for OS X) hard-codes a "Preferences" item in the Apple menu. As a result, IDLE now has two "Preferences" items--the active one that is coded by default, and an inactive item that is hard-coded by Tk. 

The attached patch to macosxSupport.py checks the installed version of Tk, and if it is 8.4.14, substitutes the hard-coded Tk "preferences" menu and binds IDLE's "preferences" dialog to this menu item. If Tk is version 8.4.13 or less, leave the menu alone.

This patch addresses Python bug #1691411  opened at 2007-03-30.
