gh-75952: Document negative offsets in tkinter geometry strings (GH-152531)
Tk geometry strings can contain a negative offset (e.g. 200x100+-9+-8) when a window edge is positioned beyond the corresponding screen edge. Note this in the geometry() and winfo_geometry() documentation. (cherry picked from commit 19b5e8e) Co-authored-by: Serhiy Storchaka <storchaka@gmail.com> Co-authored-by: Claude Opus 4.8 <noreply@anthropic.com>
