IDLE - document github project issue topics #95491

@terryjreedy

Description

@terryjreedy

The primary field for the IDLE issues project in the github cpython repository is 'Topic'. I will add a listing of topics and explanation of each to idlelib/README.txt, which is accessible from IDLE on the Help => About IDLE dialog.

This will replace my private 'idle-issues.txt', which has been absolutely essential for me working with IDLE. I once uploaded a snapshot to #74607. I considered adding a periodically updated snapshot to idlelib but never decided that the benefit would justify the extra work. The IDLE issues project should be a net plus for me and be available to anyone else working with IDLE issues.

Many of the topics comprise issues related to groups of menu items indicated by separators on each drop-down menu. #95471 added a separator needed for this purpose.
