[issue30917] IDLE: Add idlelib.config.IdleConf unittest

[Terry J. Reedy]

Terry J. Reedy added the comment:

Whatever is merged with PR_2691, further improvements can be made in further PRs either on this issue or others that work on config code.  

I still think this test is slower than it should be -- the change to deep copy either made no difference or made it slower, but I will try profiling before experimenting more.

In config, the warning prints in the directory search should use _warn, which can be blocked and mocked while testing.

4% uncovered in the file is probably 6% of IdleConf.  At least some is error branches that might be interesting to trigger.
