Since 58f90d36a0, the main application
window was disabled even if no parent was specified when creating
wxProgressDialog, which was a change in behaviour compared to 3.1.0 and
earlier versions.
Revert this change and don't disable any windows if neither parent nor
wxPD_APP_MODAL is given.
Closes#18189.
Unfortunately it doesn't seem possible to prevent the native MSW dialog
from changing its size in both upper and lower direction vertically, so
at least mention this in the documentation and mention a possible
workaround of manually adjusting the text to always have the same number
of lines.
Such dialogs must be destroyed before the main event loop starts running
to avoid problems with the temporary event loop created by the dialog
internally.
See #17983.
The dialog now grows automatically as needed and Fit() can be called to
shrink it back if desired and this behaviour is consistent under all
platforms.
This method is supposed to adjust the dialog size to its contents and
while the dialog increases automatically when using native
implementation under MSW, it doesn't shrink back on its own and so it's
still useful to allow Fit() to do it.
Update the sample to test Fit() too.
MSW implementation of wxProgressDialog adjusted the dialog size to the
size of the message shown in it on each update, resulting in visually
unpleasant constant jumping around (this is the same problem that we
used to have in wxGenericProgressDialog long time ago, see #10624).
Minimize this by using TDM_UPDATE_ELEMENT_TEXT instead of
TDM_SET_ELEMENT_TEXT for changing the element text. This still increases
the dialog size if the new element text is longer than the old value,
but at least doesn't shrink it back if it is shorter, which is already
quite an improvement.
Notice that this change requires using TDF_EXPAND_FOOTER_AREA style, as
otherwise the expanded information can't be updated without a re-layout.
But this doesn't seem to be a big loss and it's not really clear why did
we explicitly clear this flag before anyhow.
Update the dialogs sample to make it easy to test for this behaviour and
the documentation to mention MSW version peculiarities.
This keyword is not expanded by Git which means it's not replaced with the
correct revision value in the releases made using git-based scripts and it's
confusing to have lines with unexpanded "$Id$" in the released files. As
expanding them with Git is not that simple (it could be done with git archive
and export-subst attribute) and there are not many benefits in having them in
the first place, just remove all these lines.
If nothing else, this will make an eventual transition to Git simpler.
Closes#14487.

Applied patch by snowleopard2 fixing a bunch of typos such as misspellings and double words in the documentation. Combined the patch with some local queued typos waiting to be committed as well as adding new typo fixes inspired by the patch.
Function names with American spelling were not changed nor was third-party code touched. The only code changes involve some changes in strings that are translated ("Can not" -> "Cannot").
Closes#13063 (again).

For consistency with the generic version and because it makes more sense than
blocking in the dialog destructor (which is the only other alternative for the
dialogs without wxPD_AUTO_HIDE to work), we should block in Update() when the
maximal value is reached for dialogs without wxPD_AUTO_HIDE style until the
dialog is dismissed.
Document this behaviour even more clearly.

Use "wxWindows licence" and not "wxWidgets licence" (the latter doesn't
exist) and consistently spell "licence" using British spelling.
See #12165.

Although the information about "Cancel" and "Skip" buttons presses is returned
from Update(), sometimes it may be more convenient to ask the dialog about
whether it was cancelled or skipped instead of storing it in the program
itself.
Add the methods which allow to check for this.
Closes#10903.
