-Support.requires('gui') returns true if it is either called in a main module

-Use_resources is set by test.regrtest but not by unittest. So when running

+Support.requires('gui') causes the test(s) it guards to be skipped if any of
+a few conditions are met:

+ - The tests are being run on Mac OSX in a process that cannot make a window
+   manager connection.
+ - tkinter.Tk cannot be successfully instantiated for some reason.
+ - test.support.use_resources has been set by something other than
+   regrtest.py and does not contain "gui".
