This was an accidental oversight -- [$tv heading $column -anchor]
ought to work.  This *would* be trivial to add, except for some
quirks in the way that the text, image, label, and heading elements
are currently put together; it'll just take a bit of shuffling around.

Questions: what should the default -anchor be?  Centered?
Would anyone object if I added an -anchor option that doesn't
work right now, but will maybe eventually work someday? :-)

Also, a heads up to any ttk::treeview users: I plan to change
the default bindings so that clicking on an item will no longer
automatically select it (see #1328192 for the rationale).

Right now, ttk::treeview does the right thing for many common
cases, but it's really, really hard to make it Not Do That for
those cases where the current behavior isn't desired.  It'd be
better for the treeview to do less by default (as long as there's
an easy way to make it do more, which currently isn't the case
either.)
