I checked the lists against https://www.tcl.tk/man/tcl8.6/TkCmd/contents.htm. I assumed 'bg' and 'fg' are valid even when not listed there.
Serhiy, do you want to separately review, or should I merge after corrections.

The tk docs do not list 'invcmd' but do list 'vcmd'. So I will presume without conrary evidence that this is either missing from the tk doc or is added by tkinter.

invcmd is an alias of invalidcommand and vcmd is an alias of validatecommand.

height and width were misplaced as standard. They and the 3 new proxy... options should be moved down.
