[3.15] gh-75952: Document negative offsets in tkinter geometry strings (GH-152531) (GH-153101) 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.
