Make wxUIActionSimulator works more reliably on GTK/X11

Add wxXSync class which adds delays between the synthesized events
sufficient for them to be processed by the higher layers (X, GTK).

This makes it possible to run the UI tests by default with wxGTK.

Closes https://github.com/wxWidgets/wxWidgets/pull/1845
