Subject: [PATCH] gh-97527: IDLE: protect macosx Tk() call when no GUI
 (GH-97530)

Only call tkinter.tk and its follow-up code in _init_tk_type when requires('gui')
does not raise.  This function can be called as an unintended side-effect of
calling other idlelib code as part of tests on macOS without a GUI enabled.
(cherry picked from commit 9704f8da333a51da32318f16106d45abb20fab76)
