c80d7be5e1 git-gui: use themed tk widgets with Tk 8.5
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).

67df911cee git-gui: Allow Tools request arguments from the user.
While static commands are already useful, some tools need
additional parameters to reach maximum usability. This
commit adds support for passing them one revision name
parameter, and one arbitrary string. With this addition,
the tools menu becomes flexible enough to implement basic
rebase support:

[core]
        editor = kwrite
[guitool "Rebase/Abort"]
        cmd = git rebase --abort
        confirm = yes
[guitool "Rebase/Continue"]
        cmd = git rebase --continue
[guitool "Rebase/Skip Commit"]
        cmd = git rebase --skip
        confirm = yes
[guitool "Rebase/Start..."]
        cmd = git rebase $ARGS $REVISION $CUR_BRANCH
        title = Start Rebase
        prompt = Rebase Current Branch
        argprompt = Flags
        revprompt = New Base
        revunmerged = yes

Some of the options, like title or prompt, are intentionally
not included in the Add dialog to avoid clutter. Also, the
dialog handles argprompt and revprompt as boolean vars.

0ce76ded1b git-gui: Add a Tools menu for arbitrary commands.
Due to the emphasis on scriptability in the git
design, it is impossible to provide 100% complete
GUI. Currently unaccounted areas include git-svn
and other source control system interfaces, TopGit,
all custom scripts.

This problem can be mitigated by providing basic
customization capabilities in Git Gui. This commit
adds a new Tools menu, which can be configured
to contain items invoking arbitrary shell commands.

The interface is powerful enough to allow calling
both batch text programs like git-svn, and GUI editors.
To support the latter use, the commands have access
to the name of the currently selected file through
the environment.
