>Summary: "Bare" text tag_configure in Tkinter

Initial Comment:
In Tcl/Tk, doing a "tag configure" operation on a text
widget with only a tag name as argument returns all of
the attributes configured for that tag. The analogous
tag_configure method in Tkinter returns nothing.

The attached patch fixes this.

I'm using Python 2.1, but the same bug is in 2.2 as
well. Here is a typescript showing the results of the
analogous commands in Tcl/Tk and Tkinter:

  $ wish
  % text .t
  .t
  % .t tag configure someTag -foreground red
  % .t tag configure someTag -foreground
  -foreground {} {} {} red
  % .t tag configure someTag
  {-background {} {} {} {}} {-bgstipple {} {} {} {}}
{-borderwidth {} {} 0 {}} {-elide {} {} 0 {}}
{-fgstipple {} {} {} {}} {-font {} {} {} {}}
{-foreground {} {} {} red} {-justify {} {} {} {}}
{-lmargin1 {} {} {} {}} {-lmargin2 {} {} {} {}}
{-offset {} {} {} {}} {-overstrike {} {} {} {}}
{-relief {} {} {} {}} {-rmargin {} {} {} {}} {-spacing1
{} {} {} {}} {-spacing2 {} {} {} {}} {-spacing3 {} {}
{} {}} {-tabs {} {} {} {}} {-underline {} {} {} {}}
{-wrap {} {} {} {}}

Oops, yeah, it should return a dictionary.  Now I also see
the comment in configure() about generalizing it so
tag_configure() can use it too.

I may be missing something, but shouldn't tag_configure
return a dictionary in this case? See the widget's configure
for comparison.
