Implementation of patch 869468

Allow the user to create Tkinter.Tcl objects which are
just like Tkinter.Tk objects except that they do not

server running -- in those cases, Tk initialization fails,
even if no window is ever created.
Includes documentation change and tests.
Tested on Linux, Solaris and Windows.

Fine tune the speed/space trade-off for overallocating small lists.
...
The Py2.3 approach overallocated small lists by up to 8 elements.
The last checkin would limited this to one but slowed down (by 20 to 30%)
the creation of small lists between 3 to 8 elements.
This tune-up balances the two, limiting overallocation to 3 elements
(significantly reducing space consumption from Py2.3) and running faster
than the previous checkin.
The first part of the growth pattern (0, 4, 8, 16) neatly meshes with
allocators that trigger data movement only when crossing a power of two
boundary. Also, then even numbers mesh well with common data alignments.

The format of the string data used in the imageop module is described
...
as "This is the same format as used by gl.lrectwrite() and the imgfile
module." This implies a certain byte order in multi-byte pixel
formats. However, the code was originally written on an SGI
(big-endian) and *uses* the fact that bytes are stored in a particular
order in ints. This means that the code uses and produces different
byte order on little-endian systems.
This fix adds a module-level flag "backward_compatible" (default not
set, and if not set, behaves as if set to 1--i.e. backward compatible)
that can be used on a little-endian system to use the same byte order
as the SGI. Using this flag it is then possible to prepare
SGI-compatible images on a little-endian system.
This patch is the result of a (small) discussion on python-dev and was
submitted to SourceForge as patch #874358 .
