Noam Raphael's patch.

SF Patch 686254 "Run IDLEfork from any directory without set-up"

Allows IDLE to run when not installed and cwd is not the IDLE directory.

I took the liberty of moving it to the startup scripts since once IDLEfork
is again a part of Python it will be superfluous and I don't want it to
be forgotten.  But it is very useful for those using IDLEfork standalone!

restart the shell, run a module, or exit.
- Improved exception reporting when running commands or scripts from the

- Added a -n command line switch to start IDLE without the subprocess.
Removed the Shell menu when running in that mode. Updated help messages.
- Added a comment to the shell startup header to indicate when IDLE is not
using the subprocess. (For now, set PyShell.use_subprocess to False to run
in this mode.)

- Restore the ability to run without the subprocess. This can be important for
some platforms or configurations. (Running without the subprocess allows the
