Issue #15663: Revert OS X installer built-in Tcl/Tk support for 3.3.3.

Some third-party projects, such as matplotlib and PIL/Pillow,
depended on being able to build with Tcl and Tk frameworks in
/Library/Frameworks.  They were unable to build with the built-in
Tcl/Tk and/or execute correctly.

dependent on the buggy releases of Aqua Cocoa Tk 8.5 shipped with
OS X 10.6 or on installing a newer third-party version of Tcl/Tk
in /Library/Frameworks, such as from ActiveState. If it is
necessary to fallback to using a third-party Tcl/Tk because of
a problem with the builtin Tcl/Tk, there is a backup version of
the _tkinter extension included which will dynamically link to
Tcl and Tk frameworks in /Library/Frameworks as in previous releases.
To enable (for all users of this Python 3.3)::
sudo bash
cd /Library/Frameworks/Python.framework/Versions/3.3
cd ./lib/python3.3
cp -p ./lib-tkinter/library/_tkinter.so ./lib-dynload

To restore using Python's builtin versions of Tcl and Tk::
sudo bash
cd /Library/Frameworks/Python.framework/Versions/3.3
cd ./lib/python3.3
cp -p ./lib-tkinter/builtin/_tkinter.so ./lib-dynload

**** IMPORTANT changes if you use IDLE and Tkinter ****
**** IMPORTANT ****
Installing a third-party version of Tcl/Tk is no longer required
================================================================
Update your version of Tcl/Tk to use IDLE or other Tk applications
==================================================================
As of Python 3.3.3, the 10.6+ 64-bit installer now
comes with its own private copy of Tcl and Tk 8.5 libraries. For
this version of Python, it is no longer necessary to install
a third-party version of Tcl/Tk 8.5, such as those from ActiveState,
to work around the problematic versions of Tcl/Tk 8.5 shipped by
Apple in OS X 10.6 and later. (This does not change the requirements
for older versions of Python installed from python.org.) By default,
this version of Python will always use its own private version,
regardless of whether a third-party Tcl/Tk is installed.
The 10.5+ 32-bit-only installer continues to use Tcl/Tk 8.4,
either a third-party or system-supplied version.

To use IDLE or other programs that use the Tkinter graphical user
interface toolkit, you may need to install a newer third-party version
of the Tcl/Tk frameworks. Visit http://www.python.org/download/mac/tcltk/
for current information about supported and recommended versions of
Tcl/Tk for this version of Python and of Mac OS X.
