This is a preliminary ARM64 platform support for wxWidgets at "it
compiles" stage. This will allow building and testing wxWidgets based
apps for oncoming Windows 10 ARM64.
Requirements:
- Visual Studio 2017 Update 4 or later with Visual C++ compilers and
libraries for ARM64 component installed
Building:
1. Open command prompt.
2. Change directory to build\msw subfolder.
3. Run "C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft Visual
Studio\2017\Community\VC\Auxiliary\Build\vcvarsamd64_arm64.bat" once.
4. Use `nmake TARGET_CPU=ARM64 ...` to build required flavor of wxWidget
libraries.
Notes:
1. Building of *.sln/*.vcxproj files does not support ARM64 yet. This
requires to hardcode Windows SDK to 10.0.15063.0 or later in
*.vcxproj files, which would render them non-compilable in older
Visual Studio versions. Microsoft is aware of this issue and is
planning a fix in the next version of Visual Studio.
2. wxmsw31ud_gl.dll does not build yet. Awaiting Microsoft to deliver
missing opengl32.lib for ARM64. Please, specify USE_OPENGL=0.

This basically removes the "adv" library, even though it's still
preserved for compatibility with user make/project files referring to
it.
It is done because the distinction between "adv" and "core" was never
really clear (e.g. why wxTreeCtrl was in core but wxTreeListCtrl in
adv?) and it prevented some core classes from using adv ones.
