Dependency of bpo-33396.
Base the initial font sizes on the on the configured editor font size. Note that editor font size defaults to 10 while the current base size is 12. I did not find any explicit discussion of this in the original issue, bpo-16893, or the first followup, bpo-25198. Perhaps Mark Roseman just liked the result, or perhaps it made the relative sizing easier.
Change font size with Control-Mousewheel. Manually tested code for doing this on Windows, Linux, and MacOS is in turtledemo.__main__. The three systems are wildly different. What we do here should allow easily doing same for other text windows.

The configdialog font tab sample could also use font resizing. bpo-24776.
