Updating Tk test suite

Abstract:
The tcltest package provides several utility commands useful in the construction of test suites for code instrumented to be run by evaluation of Tcl commands. Notably the built-in commands of the Tcl library itself are tested by a test suite using the tcltest package.
The Tk test system still uses primarily tcltest v1, and would benefit from an update to tcltest v2 and a full reexamination of out-dated tests. The test suite should gain independence from the system's settings that test is made on. This all leads to improvement of testing capabilities.
