Description: Follow-up of gh-86726, closing gh-153550. The tkinter reference sections were overhauled in gh-86726 and #153549, but the narrative prose preceding them — Tkinter life preserver and Handy reference in Doc/library/tkinter.rst, plus the tkinter.ttk front matter — still read like a late-1990s tutorial. This is an editorial pass to match. No API changes. tkinter.rst Replace The packer with a general Geometry management section covering grid, pack and place, with an example and use case for each, grid as the default, and a warning against mixing pack and grid in one container. Rework The window manager and Coupling widget variables: modern Tk()/ttk examples instead of the dated App(Frame) idiom, and correct explanations (e.g. a widget links to a Variable because Python can't notify Tk when a plain variable is reassigned). Drop the Ousterhout page-number citations for the relevant Tk man pages; reconcile the Packer options and Tk option data types lists with the reference; fill in the empty Entry-index list; point classic examples at the ttk widgets. tkinter.ttk.rst Lead the intro with the native-theme benefit; fix the TIP 48 link; recommend the explicit from tkinter import ttk form; refresh the theme-engine links (ttk::intro + the illustrated Tile Widget Set paper); add cross-references to tkinter.rst. tkinter.dnd.rst Fix the malformed target-selection list and mark up source/event as parameters. Docs-only; no Misc/NEWS.d entry.
