[3.6] bpo-31003: IDLE - Add more tests for General tab (GH-2859) (#2906)

* In configdialog: Document causal pathways in create_page_general.
Move related functions to follow this. Simplify some attribute names.
* In test_configdialog: Add tests for load and helplist functions.
Coverage for the general tab is now complete, and 63% overall.
(cherry picked from commit 2bc8f0e)
