Title: text edit undo/redo inop

Description:
Text edit undo/redo do not do anything in Tk 8.6.7, though they work fine in 8.6.6.  One test is to fire up Tkcon and press Ctrl+Z to see whether or not the terminal gets wiped.

Test program:

package require Tk
text .t
.t insert 1.0 bad
.t edit undo
puts [.t get 1.0 end]
exit

Bisect revealed the problem to be [c8256e859a]: "Made text widget's default undo false again." That explains it completely. I was unknowingly relying on an incorrect default.
