* generic/tkConsole.c: Substantial rewrite of [console] support.

        * generic/tkInt.h:      Included Obj-ification of the [console] and
        [consoleinterp] commands, and reworking of all the supporting data
        structures for cleaner sharing and lifetime management especially
        in multi-threaded configurations.
