[GRASS5] gis.m as default GUI

[Michael Barton]

This is just a simple replace from the d.m script to the gis.m script.

Gm.tcl is the main TclTk program. Gm_tcl simply mirrors a construction in
the d.m script. There was some issue about using d.m as a name. I didn't
make this piece of bash code. I remember the discussion, but forget what it
was about.
