Remove the flash sample

Adobe have announced the official EOL for flash is 2020 so we're
now at the point where support for flash just isn't interesting
any more.

It doesn't make sense to support it for the upcoming 3.2.x release
series, and the sample .swf files are lacking source code.

Closes https://github.com/wxWidgets/wxWidgets/pull/1427

Closes #15886.

@section page_samples_flash Flash Sample
The flash sample demonstrates embedding of Adobe Flash into a wxWidgets
program. Currently it only works under Windows as it uses the Flash ActiveX
control to achieve this but we hope to be able to extend it to also work under
other platforms in the future. The sample also currently requires Microsoft
Visual C++ compiler as it uses COM support extensions specific to this
compiler.
The sample comes with 2 Flash files (SWF), showing a simple Flash animation
which can be controlled using the "Play", "Stop" and "Back"/"Forward" buttons
in the sample as well as a Flash form which shows how Flash and wxWidgets
program can exchange data: calling "GetText" function without arguments returns
the text of the text control defined inside Flash and calling "SetText" with an
argument sets the control contents to the given string. Finally clicking on the
button generates an event which is caught by the C++ program.
