Changes of d245dc9e1f (Fix drawing of dotted lines with wxDC in wxMSW,
2020-03-27) improved the appearance of dotted and dashed lines in wxMSW
but at the expense of significant (up to a factor of 300) slowdown.
Allow the applications for which the drawing performance is important to
explicitly request the old behaviour, with uglier, but faster, pens by
choosing to use low quality pens.
Update the graphics benchmark to allow specifying the pen quality and
verify that the performance when using it is the same as before 3.1.4.

Closes#18875.
As shown by the fact that no other platform-specific translations were
ever added since the initial version of locale/msw/it.po added way back
in 4d931bcca0 (Translate '&Help' to '&' for italian Windows only,
2005-08-12), this is not especially useful, so just handle this
particular case specially in wxGetStockLabel() and remove support for
platform-specific translations.
This allows to simplify the makefiles and the catalog loading code as
there is no need to deal with the files in subdirectories any more.
This will allow reusing the same strings in other places.
Also use this as opportunity to add "msw" as the (preferred) synonym for
"win" for general consistency.
Only disable using the system libraries when a built-in version is
available, otherwise still use the system library as this seems more
useful than disabling the use of only some system libraries (liblzma and
libcurl), while still possibly depending on dozens more via GTK.
Update the documentation and remove the now unnecessary --with-libcurl
from the CI script.

Simplify things by putting setup.h files themselves under version
control and getting rid of setup0.h ones.
The initial motivation for using separate setup0.h files was to allow
having local changes to setup.h, but with Git there is a simple way to
do it by using "git update-index --skip-worktree include/wx/msw/setup.h"
for example, so we don't really need setup0.h any more and dropping them
makes things simpler.
Warning about gettext versions earlier than 0.10.35 is pointless,
as even 0.10.35 is from 2001, and so old it isn't even available
on GNU mirrors anymore. We shall not recommend a specific version in
the first place.
The proper way to start a new translation is to use msginit to initialize
a .po file -- just copying the .pot leaves many fields to their default
values, which the translator would need to fill in manually (the
Plural-Forms: field in particular).
Notable record the commands that can be used to recover from a conflict
with the server version of the notes (merging notes is more involved and
usually not worth it, they can just be re-added after resetting).
Using --with is more appropriate for libcurl and WinHTTP as they
introduce dependencies on external libraries and is done for
NSURLSession too for consistency.
And there doesn't seem to be any real reason to make these options names
longer by including "webrequest" in their names, they're clear and
unambiguous enough even without it.
This doesn't pass the indentation style check and TABs are likely to get
lost when copying/pasting anyhow, so remove them and add an explicit
note about TABs being needed here instead.
Remove obsolete information and parts already documented elsewhere.
Also remove the part about wxWidgets crashing your harddisk or
destroying your monitor because I'm a killjoy.
This requires refactoring NewCloseButton() in order to extract
CreateCloseButton() from it, as XRC relies on being able to use two-step
creation which was previously impossible for this kind of buttons.
CreateCloseButton() is rather unusual, as it has to be declared in the
derived, platform-specific class, in order to be able to call its
Create(), but is defined only once in common, platform-independent,
code. However the only alternative seems to be to have a static
function, e.g. InitCloseButton(), which wouldn't be very pretty neither.

Change wxGetInstallPrefix() to return a string instead of const
wxChar*. The latter was incorrectly obtained from a temporary string if
WXPREFIX was set. While it's possible to fix in a backward compatible
manner without changing the function's signature, it's not worth the
effort for something pretty obscure and used mostly internally.
wxUSE_UNICODE_UTF8 is not default anywhere since a long time.
Also mention that wxUSE_UNICODE==0 build is already deprecated and will
be dropped in the future.
