Tcl is only used for tests.

Tested only on i386.
For 6.2.21 I saw some test differences with 8.5/8.6.
Now for 6.2.22, the 8.5/8.6 results look more similar.
Test output is kinda async so hard to compare runs.

Either way, tests hang at the end with 6.2.22, not with 6.2.21.

I think it's ok to set MODTCL_VERSIOM=8.6.

Also, any reason we can't go to (say) redis 8?
