the TkAqua Cocoa merge has now been committed

sorry for the delay, it took longer than expected to find time for the
buildsystem modifications needed to make the legacy implementation a
configure option: indeed, given the reactions to my initial plan to
drop pre-10.5 support completely, I have now preserved the legacy
tk/macosx codebase in the new tk/carbon directory. The --enable-aqua
Tk configure flag turns on the new Cocoa implementation by default,
use --enable-aqua=carbon to fallback to the Carbon implementation.

As announced previously, I will however not continue to maintain the
Carbon code on HEAD (except possibly for parallel application of Tk
8.5 bugfixes), I have included the warning below in the
tk/carbon/README to make this explicit (if a new maintainer for this
code were to step forward, they can of course amend that statement as
they see fit).

Cheers,

Daniel
