Tk provides tk_dialog that is compatible across 8.6 and 9.0 and handles git-gui--askyesno requirements. The latter is not compatible with Tk 9.0, so let's use tk_dialog.

Note: this is a single commit on top of js/ask-yesno, the latter is not merged to master. I'm leaving this as a draft, the commit should probably be cherry-picked, and as I'm not using g4w and experiencing the need for this dialog, more testing is needed that I cannot really provide. This does work for me on Linux invoked from the command line on Tcl 8.6, 8.7, and 9.0.

Make use of the new environment variable GIT_ASK_YESNO to support the
recently implemented fallback in case unlink, rename or rmdir fail for
files in use on Windows. The added dialog will present a yes/no question
to the the user which will currently be used by the windows compat layer
to let the user retry a failed file operation.

"Question?" is maybe not the most informative thing to ask. In the
absence of better information, it is the best we can do, of course.

However, Git for Windows' auto updater just learned the trick to use
git-gui--askyesno to ask the user whether to update now or not. And in
this scripted scenario, we can easily pass a command-line option to
change the window title.

So let's support that with the new `--title <title>` option.

For additional GUI goodness.

git-gui's proposed command-line dialog script relies upon Tk 8.5'ish
constructs and is incompatible with Tcl 9.0. This dialog is hand crafted
from several widgets, while Tk provides tk_dialog that handles the need
here, and is fully supported in Tk 8.6 and 9.0. So, let's switch to
that.

I carry the js/ask-yesno topic in my testing tree only as a courtesy. I have no intent to move it forward, but would rather eject it if it hinders testing other topics on Tcl/Tk 9. I took it from gitgitgadget/git#358. Any improvements should be done there or submitted as PR here.
