bpo-34370: Revert to using released Tk 8.6.8 with macOS installers

ned-deily · ned-deily · commit f55c3ae65759 · 2018-10-13T02:08:48.000-04:00
For 3.7.1rc1 and 3.6.7rc1 we used a pre-release development snapshot of Tk 8.6 to pick up some post-8.6.8 fixes for macOS. But the snapshot introduced at least one regression (bpo-34927). For rc2, revert to using the standard release 8.6.8 for now. This reverts commit adf4932.
