[issue40468] IDLE: configdialog tab rearrange

Reflecting on #41522, I decided that it would be best to work on this issue before going any further with that one (partly because it would require us to redo some of the work and also because this issue should have a higher priority). I have put together a demonstration which is mostly based on your comments on that issue (like before, I did the minimum required to make the window show). The exact list of (user-visible) changes is as follows:

Fonts/Tabs:
 - rename to "Fonts"
 - move indentation width to the new "Editor/Shell" tab and use a spinbox
Highlights
 - rename to "Colours"
General
 - split into two tabs titled "Editor/Shell" (containing Editor & Shell frames) and "Windows" (containing Window frame)
 - move additional help sources to "Extensions" (I believe this makes more sense than having it in any of the other tabs)

I would also suggest, if there was a patch/PR for this issue, we split the "Extensions" page into its own class. I also think the "Keys" page would benefit from some work but I will not include that in this issue.
