[3.14] gh-84008: Document that the LC_NUMERIC locale affects tkinter numeric widgets (GH-152008) (GH-152050)

Spinbox, Scale and ttk.Spinbox format floating-point values according to
the LC_NUMERIC locale, but such values are always parsed with a period, so
a comma-decimal locale breaks DoubleVar.get().
(cherry picked from commit ee78d43)
