Implement preferred language selection on modern systems (OS X, Windows
Vista+). User settings for locale (aka "regional settings") and UI
language are independent there and the UI language shouldn't be
determined from the locale.
Moreover, the OS provides a list of preferred languages, not a single
value (as with locale), so we should use the best language given user's
preferences and available translations. A Czech user may prefer Slovak
UI over English, for example, and we should use Slovak translation in
absence of Czech one in that case instead of falling back to English.
On Unix, locale is language and so things remain as before.
Notice that calling wxLocale::Init(wxLANGUAGE_DEFAULT) does the right
thing now: it sets the locale to whatever the user has configured in
regional settings and loads translations corresponding to default
wxTranslations language, which is determined as described above.
Previously, UI would be translated using a language corresponding to the
regional settings.

Use "wxWindows licence" and not "wxWidgets licence" (the latter doesn't
exist) and consistently spell "licence" using British spelling.

size_t should be used for size of objects, which wxGetTranslation() and
wxTranslations::GetString() 'n' argument isn't -- it's just a regular
integer.

To make the code more manageable, intl.h now contains wxLocale and
translation.h all translations-related stuff (wxTranslations, _() etc.).
Code generated by genlang.py was moved into its own files (language.h,
languageinfo.cpp).

wxTranslations is for handling gettext translations. wxLocale manages
locale and provides compatiblity API for translations. Separating these
two loosely related tasks makes it possible to use translations into
languages not known by Windows or using localized GUI without all the
locales compilations.

This doesn't affect Unicode builds, only the legacy ANSI one.
PO files are now always converted to the appropriate charset according
to current locale. This was the default behavior for long time; not
doing the conversion was always a fragile hack that didn't work well.
Removing this flag simplifies wxLocale code.

- Implement for POSIX and Win32, TODO for OS X
- Use this instead of ad hoc code in wxDateTime::ParseFormat()
- Remove HAVE_STRPTIME, we don't need nor use strptime() any more
