Backport of #153647 to 3.13.

Refresh the narrative "Tkinter life preserver" and "Handy reference"
sections of the tkinter documentation to match the overhauled reference.

Conflicts in tkinter.rst and tkinter.ttk.rst were resolved in favour of
the modernized prose; they arose only because the main-only cleanup #144505
(:mod: self-link suppression) is not on 3.13.

…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.
