wxNotebook was unusable with so many pages under all platforms and completely
unusable under Mac. Replace it with wxChoicebook which allows to select any
page quickly instead of having to do it sequentially (or not being able to do
it at all under Mac).
Another possibility could be to use wxTreebook and organize the pages in
categories, similarly to how it is done in the widgets sample.
Closes#3699.

Several new pages were added in random positions, rearrange them to be in
alphabetical order.
Also remove wxToolBar from "The Rest" page as it is shown in one of the other
pages now.

appicon.xpm was removed so use another icon in the controls demo in the sample
instead, it doesn't matter which one we use anyhow.

There are already way too many pages in the "Controls Example" in the sample,
combine wxBitmapButton and wxButton ones to save some space and make it more
usable.

Notice that currently only stretchable spacers are supported via
separator-like "space" XRC element. If we ever add support for fixed spacers
in the toolbar we should do it via its fixed sub-element, e.g. they would be
specified with <fixed>1</fixed> in XRC file.
Also use spacers instead of separator in the XRC sample and ensure that the
toolbars in it are resized.

- added the control itself
- added protected wxBookCtrlBase::AllowNullPage() to accommodate it
- big changes to the sample to get rid of (most) ugly macros
- added XRC handler for the control
- added docs
- and wxUSE_TREEBOOK everywhere

This patch is a draft which successfully allows a wxArtProvider to serve out icons to bitmaps for XRC files.
The syntax to use a wxArtProvider bitmap is:
<bitmap stock_id="wxART_INFORMATION" stock_client="wxART_TOOLBAR">somefallbackicon.png</bitmap>
The bitmap is optional, and will only be used as a fallback image, if the wxArtProvider returned a wxNullBitmap for some reason.
The client attribute, if not specified, currently will be wxART_OTHER. Perhaps there should be a guessing heuristic of it being in a menu node to call wxART_MENU.
Usage of XRC resouces and wxArtProvider together can be seen in an updated /contrib/samples/xrc demo, which is a separate patch.
Search the wx-dev mailing lists for "wxArtProvider" and "XRC" for the full discussions on this feature's API design.
Applied patch [ 594932 ] Extended XRC XML resources sample
By Robert O'Connor (robertoconnor)
This is a more comprehensive introduction to how to get up and running using XRC in your new wxWindows project.
It describes both the basics (for new users) and advanced features. It consists of a demo of dialogs and frames loaded from XRC. Each dialog has a textctrl at the top of the dialog, which walks the new user through that feature.
There are 8 demos:
The 4 basic ones:
-A non-derived dialog, as typically used for an about dialog.
-A derived dialog that loads its resources from an XRC (a frequently-asked question on the mailing lists), and responds to some simple events, including the disable-another-control-via-EVT_UPDATE_UI that is another FAQ, and powerful and simple-to-use feature.
-A XRC reference "Controls" dialog, using a notebook. Each tab has a single control. All XRC handled widgets can be seen at a glance, and how to use them under XRC.
-An uncentered dialog, to demonstrate the easy use of <centered>1</centered> to automatically place a Dialog centered on its parent..
The 4 advanced ones:
-Embedding a custom class into an XRC dialog, by using the "unknown" class.
-Using wxArtProvider to use stock icons from within your your XRC resources.
-Using the platform attribute to selectively show a part of XRC based on the current OS.
-Runtime variable expansion (demo only. Not implemented at this time).
Also:
-The main frame is now demonstrated as being loaded as an XRC.
- The toolbar has longhelp tag demonstrated, and are hooked up to the same events as the menu to show how XRCID() works on the same tool and menuitem XRCID.
-Some custom icons for the demonstration were created, and put into the toolbar and menubar. A custom icon also for the demonstration.
-The example code has been put in 1 class per file (both .cpp and a matching .xrc), to make it much less confusing for a newcomer to figure out what class is what, expecially with all the wx macros for declaration and implementation.
