The TCL project previously used the domain tcl.tk, but started to  
redirect traffic to tcl-lang.org some time ago.  Since 2026-10-31  
the old tcl.tk domain is hosting a site for Android apps with no  
connection to the TCL project.  Update all existing tcl.tk links  
with their corresponding tcl-lang.org url.  
  
Backpatch to all supported versions.

IMPORTANT NOTE: The restore command will now error and stop if any restored file contains an invalid page checksum, which leaves the cluster incomplete and unable to start, so the restore must be rerun. The expire command will now refuse to expire if the oldest retained backup would contain checksum errors, which also prevents archive from being expired in that repository. Set checksum-page-error=n to warn instead of erroring.
