This patch enables the use of themed Tk widgets with Tk 8.5 and above.
These make a significant difference on Windows in making the
application appear native. On Windows and MacOSX ttk defaults to the
native look as much as possible. On X11 the user may select a theme
using the TkTheme XRDB resource class by adding an line to the
.Xresources file. The set of installed theme names is available using
the Tk command 'ttk::themes'. The default on X11 is similar to the current
un-themed style - a kind of thin bordered motif look.
A new git config variable 'gui.usettk' may be set to disable this if
the user prefers the classic Tk look. Using Tk 8.4 will also avoid the
use of themed widgets as these are only available since 8.5.
Some support is included for Tk 8.6 features (themed spinbox and native
font chooser for MacOSX and Windows).

In several places, only the background colour is set to an explicit
value, sometimes even "white". This does not work well with dark
colour themes.
This patch tries to set the foreground colour to "black" in those
situations, where an explicit background colour is set without defining
any foreground colour.

Sometimes we use a Tk text widget as though it were a listbox.
This happens typically when we want to show an icon to the left
of the text label or just when a text widget is generally a better
choice then the native listbox widget.
In these cases if we want the user to have control over the selection
we implement our own "in_sel" tag that shows the selected region
and we perform our own selection management in the background
via keybindings and mouse bindings. In such uses we don't want
the user to be able to activate the native platform selection by
dragging their mouse through the text widget. Doing so creates a
very confusing display and the user is left wondering what it may
mean to have two different types of selection in the same widget.
Tk doesn't allow us to delete the "sel" tag that it uses internally
to manage the native selection but it will allow us to make it
invisible by setting the tag to have the same display properties
as unselected text. So long as we don't actually use the "sel"
tag for anything in code its effectively invisible.

Simon Sasburg noticed that on X11 if there are more fonts than can
fit in the height of the screen Tk's native tk_optionMenu does not
offer scroll arrows to the user and it is not possible to review
all choices or to select those that are off-screen. On Mac OS X
the tk_optionMenu works properly but is awkward to navigate if the
list is long.
This is a rewrite of our font selection by providing a new modal
dialog that the user can launch from the git-gui Options panel.
The dialog offers the user a scrolling list of fonts in a pane.
An example text shows the user what the font looks like at the size
they have selected. But I have to admit the example pane is less
than ideal. For example in the case of our diff font we really
should show the user an example diff complete with our native diff
syntax coloring.
