build-installer now looks in its directory of source tarballs
for a suitable html tarball of the same version. If so, it
will unpack and use it rather than rebuilding the html format
documentation set from the source repo. This is intended as
a speedup for test builds of the installer. Files names must
be in the same format as produced by the docs build for download,
for example, `python-3.9.0b1-docs-html.tar.bz2`.

Reason: the link `ftp://invisible-island.net/ncurses//5.9/ncurses-5.9-20120616-patch.sh.bz2` is dead, which prevents `Mac/BuildScript/build-installer.py` from completing. Looks like the host of the FTP server was changed to `ftp.invisible-island.net`, thus this proposal.

Previously, python.org macOS installers did not alter the Current version
symlink in /Library/Frameworks/Python.framework/Versions when installing
a version of Python 3.x, only when installing 2.x. Now that Python 2 is
retired, it's time to change that. This should make it a bit easier
to embed Python 3 into other macOS applications.
This reverts commit 7cf3d8e251.
Due to regressions found with using Tk 8.6.9.1, build the python.org macOS installers with Tcl/Tk 8.6.8 as used in previous releases.
