bpo-30993: IDLE - Improve configdialog font page and tests. (#2818)

* Document causal event pathways in docstring.
* Simplify some attribute names.
* Rename test_bold_toggle_set_samples to make test_font_set fail.
* Fix test_font_set so not order dependent.
* Fix renamed test_indent_scale so it tests the widget.

-        Tk Variables:
-            font_name: Font face.
-            font_size: Font size.
-            font_bold: Select font bold or not.
-                Note: these 3 share var_changed_font callback.
-            space_num: Indentation width.

+        Tabs: Enable users to change spaces entered for indent tabs.
