bpo-32984: IDLE - set __file__ for startup files (GH-5981)
Like Python, IDLE optionally runs one startup file in the Shell window before presenting the first interactive input prompt. For IDLE, option -s runs a file named in environmental variable IDLESTARTUP or PYTHONSTARTUP; -r file runs file. Python sets __file__ to the startup file name before running the file and unsets it before the first prompt. IDLE now does the same when run normally, without the -n option.
