[issue25020] IDLE - centralize ui policies and small utilities

[Terry J. Reedy]

Terry J. Reedy added the comment:

The specific patch is out-of-date.  IDLE 3.6+ requires tk 8.5+. We should finish converting everything to ttk before 3.7.0.  In practice, I believe people are using late 8.5 or 8.6.  8.5.9 on Apple is too buggy to really use and latest ActiveState 8.5 for mac (.18?) is recommended.  macosx has functions to identify specific mac graphics.
