Add functor-taking overload of CallAfter().

This is a generalization of the existing method-calling overloads.

/**
Asynchronously call the given functor.
Calling this function on an object schedules an asynchronous call to
the functor specified as CallAfter() argument at a (slightly) later
time. This is useful when processing some events as certain actions
typically can't be performed inside their handlers, e.g. you shouldn't
show a modal dialog from a mouse click event handler as this would
break the mouse capture state -- but you can call a function showing
this message dialog after the current event handler completes.
Notice that it is safe to use CallAfter() from other, non-GUI,
threads, but that the method will be always called in the main, GUI,
thread context.
This overload is particularly useful in combination with C++11 lambdas:
@code
wxGetApp().CallAfter([]{
wxBell();
});
@endcode
@param functor The functor to call.
@note This method is not available with Visual C++ before version 8
(Visual Studio 2005) as earlier versions of the compiler don't
have the required support for C++ templates to implement it.
