…nter documentation (pythonGH-153647) Refresh the narrative "Tkinter life preserver" and "Handy reference" sections to match the overhauled reference (pythongh-86726 and pythongh-153549). * Rework "The packer" into a general "Geometry management" section covering grid, pack and place, and cross-link it with the Grid, Pack and Place reference classes. * Rework "The window manager" and "Coupling widget variables", replacing the dated App(Frame) examples with direct Tk() and ttk examples. * Replace page-number citations to Ousterhout's book with links to the relevant Tk man pages. * Modernize the tkinter.ttk front matter and its Tcl/Tk links, and add cross-references between the two documents. * Reconcile the "Packer options" and "Tk option data types" lists with the reference, and fill in the empty Entry index list. * Fix the malformed target-selection list in tkinter.dnd.
