This reverts 6c40531fb7 ("Make main thread wake
up code more efficient and less error-prone in wxMSW") as, while being more
efficient, the new code doesn't work at all when we're not running the message
loop ourselves as it happens when the user opens a menu or starts resizing a
window because in both cases Windows runs a local message loop dispatching the
messages itself and this message loop doesn't react to our event object being
signalled.
So this approach can't work and needs to be reverted, even if it reintroduces
the danger of overflowing the message queue (see #9053).
Closes #17579.
