0.6.1
- Updated TkDND binaries to 2.10.1 for linux-x64(-tcl9), linux-arm64(-tcl9),
win-x64(-tcl9), win-x86(-tcl9), win-arm64, and osx-arm64. This brings in
TkDND's Tcl 9 compatibility work plus fixes for: file drops being
ignored by GTK3 apps, a BadWindow crash on X11 drops, a Windows
long-path truncation bug, an X11 pointer-grab break on virtual desktop
switches, and intermittent drop failures on Wayland/XWayland.
- Split osx-arm64 into a real Tcl 8.6 build and a new osx-arm64-tcl9
folder. Previously osx-arm64 only ever shipped a Tcl 9-linked binary
(TkDND's macOS CI had no Tcl 8.6 build available), so Tcl 8.6 Python
installs on Apple Silicon silently got an incompatible library. Now
osx-arm64 is genuinely Tcl 8.6, and Tcl 9 runtimes fall back to the new
osx-arm64-tcl9 folder as intended.
- win-arm64 remains Tcl 9-linked (TkDND has no Tcl 8.6 Windows ARM64
build), and osx-x64 remains on its old 2.9.4 binary (no macOS x64
build exists in TkDND's CI at all) -- both unchanged from 0.6.0 aside
from win-arm64 picking up the 2.10.1 Tcl 9 refresh.

Updates linux-x64(-tcl9), linux-arm64(-tcl9), win-x64(-tcl9), win-x86(-tcl9),
and win-arm64 from TkDND 2.10.0 to 2.10.1, bringing in fixes for a GTK3
file-drop interop bug, a BadWindow crash on X11 drops, a Windows long-path
truncation bug, an X11 pointer-grab break on virtual desktop switches, and
intermittent drop failures on Wayland/XWayland.

Also splits osx-arm64 into a real Tcl 8.6 build and a new osx-arm64-tcl9
folder. TkDND's macOS CI previously had no Tcl 8.6 build for arm64 at all,
so osx-arm64 was silently serving a Tcl 9-linked binary to everyone,
including Tcl 8.6 Python installs (the common case on Apple Silicon Macs),
where it would fail to load. osx-arm64 is now genuinely Tcl 8.6, with Tcl 9
runtimes falling back to osx-arm64-tcl9 per TkinterDnD.py's existing
version-detection logic.

win-arm64 stays Tcl 9-linked (TkDND has no Tcl 8.6 Windows ARM64 build) and
osx-x64 stays on its old 2.9.4 binary (no macOS x64 build exists in TkDND's
CI at all) -- both documented gaps, not regressions from this change.

test_expected_version hardcoded the exact TkDND version string per
platform, so it broke on every version bump for reasons unrelated to
whether the binary actually works. test_version_is_set already covers
the thing that matters (a version was loaded at all).
