Remove the Tk interfaces

Browse Source 
These were a constant source of trouble.  Tkinter likely has multiple
memory leaks that OfflineIMAP was tickling.  I never used these, so poof,
goodbye.

<title>Curses.Blinkenlights</title>
<para>
Curses.Blinkenlights is an interface very similar to Tk.Blinkenlights,
but is designed to be run in a console window (an xterm, Linux virtual
terminal, etc.) Since it doesn't have access to graphics, it isn't
quite as pretty, but it still gets the job done.

<title>Tk.VerboseUI</title>
<para>
Tk.VerboseUI (formerly known as Tk.TkUI) is a graphical interface
that presents a variable-sized window. In the window, each
currently-executing thread has a section where its name and current
status are displayed. This interface is best suited to people running
on slower connections, as you get a lot of detail, but for fast
connections, the detail may go by too quickly to be useful. People
with fast connections may wish to use Tk.Blinkenlights instead.
