The word 'dependent' is both an adjective and a noun. A 'dependant' is a British alternative spelling for the noun form. In idlelib.sidebar, 'OS-dependant' is an adjective and clearly wrong. In 'Using', 'dependant' as a noun would be acceptable in Britain, but we use American spellings in Python docs.

#97530 fixed IDLE tests possibly crashing on a Mac without a GUI.
But it resulted in IDLE not starting in 3.10.8, 3.12.0a1, and
Microsoft Python 3.10.2288.0 when test/* is not installed.
After this patch, test.* is only imported when testing on Mac.
Only call tkinter.tk and its follow-up code in _init_tk_type when requires('gui')
does not raise. This function can be called as an unintended side-effect of
calling other idlelib code as part of tests on macOS without a GUI enabled.
Integer to and from text conversions via CPython's bignum `int` type is not safe against denial of service attacks due to malicious input. Very large input strings with hundred thousands of digits can consume several CPU seconds.
This PR comes fresh from a pile of work done in our private PSRT security response team repo.

I wrote up [a one pager for the release managers](https://docs.google.com/document/d/1KjuF_aXlzPUxTK4BMgezGJ2Pn7uevfX7g0_mvgHlL7Y/edit#). Much of that text wound up in the Issue. Backports PRs already exist. See the issue for links.
#91242 replaced the Windows chm help file with a copy
of the html docs. This PR replaces the IDLE code that
fetches the Windows local help url passed to os.startfile.

If one selects whole lines, as the sidebar makes easy, do not
add an extra line. Only move the end of a selection to the
beginning of the next line when not already at the beginning
of a line. (Also improve the surrounding code.)
Move `Select All` above `Cut` as it is used with `Cut` and `Copy` but not `Paste`. Add a separator between `Replace` and `Go to Line` to separate items that belong to the 'Edit-find' (above) and 'Edit-show' (below) IDLE github project topics.
* gh-93883: elide traceback indicators when possible
Elide traceback column indicators when the entire line of the
frame is implicated. This reduces traceback length and draws
even more attention to the remaining (very relevant) indicators.
Example:
```
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "query.py", line 99, in <module>
bar()
File "query.py", line 66, in bar
foo()
File "query.py", line 37, in foo
magic_arithmetic('foo')
File "query.py", line 18, in magic_arithmetic
return add_counts(x) / 25
^^^^^^^^^^^^^
File "query.py", line 24, in add_counts
return 25 + query_user(user1) + query_user(user2)
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
File "query.py", line 32, in query_user
return 1 + query_count(db, response['a']['b']['c']['user'], retry=True)
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~^^^^^
TypeError: 'NoneType' object is not subscriptable
```
Rather than going out of our way to provide indicator coverage
in every traceback test suite, the indicator test suite should
be responible for sufficient coverage (e.g. by adding a basic
exception group test to ensure that margin strings are covered).
