[issue33642] IDLE: Use variable number of lines in CodeContext

[Terry J. Reedy]

2 quick thoughts.

1. I am not sure we can/should change the default, as it interacts with the recorded user changes for past versions.  The default is that we never change defaults.  (Having one user config for all Python/IDLE versions is a curse as well as a blessing.  I anticipate having to do something different, sometime.

2. I was thinking for '<top level>' instead of a blank line for when CC is on but there is no real context.  I think we should try both and see what seems better in use while moving down through a file.
