[OE-core] [PATCH] python2: Add PACKAGECONFIG for tkinter to support tk from meta-oe

[Jate S]

Python 2.7.x does not use an explicit configure option for tk support.
Instead, it tries to detect the tk and tcl libraries before compiling
python-tkinter.

In PACKAGECONFIG[*], items three and four are the DEPENDS and RDEPENDS,
respectively. They are only added to the python DEPENDS/RDEPENDS when the
user adds tkinter to the PACKAGECONFIG value.

This thread contains more discussion:
