Add wxDateTimePickerCtrl::SetNullText()

This allows to customize the string shown when there is no valid date
under MSW (only, for now) and can be notably used to suppress the
unused date completely, which can be useful to lighten up the display
when there are many controls.

Add UI elements to the widgets sample allowing to test the new function.
