Change documentation references from OS X to macOS (#1927)
Since OS X 10.12 it has been named macOS so it makes sense
to reference it in documentation as such, even when it
sometimes refers to older versions which were called (Mac) OS X.

@class wxSystemOptions
wxSystemOptions stores option/value pairs that wxWidgets itself or
applications can use to alter behaviour at run-time. It can be
used to optimize behaviour that doesn't deserve a distinct API,
but is still important to be able to configure.
System options can be set by the program itself using SetOption() method
and they also can be set from the program environment by defining an
environment variable @c wx_option to set the given option for all wxWidgets
applications or @c wx_appname_option to set it just for the application
with the given name (as returned by wxApp::GetAppName()). Notice that any
characters not allowed in the environment variables names, such as periods
and dashes, should be replaced with underscores. E.g. to define a system
option "foo-bar" you need to define the environment variable "wx_foo_bar".
The program may use system options for its own needs but they are mostly
used to control the behaviour of wxWidgets library itself.
These options are currently recognised by wxWidgets:
@section sysopt_all All platforms
@beginFlagTable
@flag{exit-on-assert}
If set to non-zero value, abort the program if an assertion fails. The
default behaviour in case of assertion failure depends on the build mode
and can be changed by overriding wxApp::OnAssertFailure() but setting
this option allows changing it without modifying the program code and
also applies to asserts which may happen before the wxApp object
creation or after its destruction.
@endFlagTable
@section sysopt_win Windows
@beginFlagTable
@flag{no-maskblt}
1 to never use WIN32's MaskBlt function, 0 to allow it to be used where possible.
Default: 0. In some circumstances the MaskBlt function can be slower than using
the fallback code, especially if using DC caching. By default, MaskBlt will be
used where it is implemented by the operating system and driver.
@flag{msw.remap}
If 1 (the default), wxToolBar bitmap colours will be remapped to the current
theme's values. Set this to 0 to disable this functionality, for example if
you're using more than 16 colours in your tool bitmaps.
@flag{msw.window.no-clip-children}
If 1, windows will not automatically get the WS_CLIPCHILDREN style.
This restores the way windows are refreshed back to the method used in
versions of wxWidgets earlier than 2.5.4, and for some complex window
hierarchies it can reduce apparent refresh delays.
You may still specify wxCLIP_CHILDREN for individual windows.
@flag{msw.notebook.themed-background}
If set to 0, globally disables themed backgrounds on notebook pages.
Note that this won't disable the theme on the actual notebook background
(noticeable only if there are no pages).
@flag{msw.staticbox.optimized-paint}
If set to 0, switches off optimized wxStaticBox painting.
Setting this to 0 causes more flicker, but allows applications to paint
graphics on the parent of a static box (the optimized refresh causes any
such drawing to disappear).
@flag{msw.font.no-proof-quality}
If set to 1, use default fonts quality instead of proof quality when
creating fonts. With proof quality the fonts have slightly better
appearance but not all fonts are available in this quality,
e.g. the Terminal font in small sizes is not and this option may be
used if wider fonts selection is more important than higher quality.
@endFlagTable
@section sysopt_gtk GTK+
@beginFlagTable
@flag{gtk.tlw.can-set-transparent}
wxTopLevelWindow::CanSetTransparent() method normally tries to detect
automatically whether transparency for top level windows is currently
supported, however this may sometimes fail and this option allows
overriding the automatic detection. Setting it to 1 makes the transparency
be always available (setting it can still fail, of course) and setting it
to 0 makes it always unavailable.
@flag{gtk.desktop}
This option can be set to override the default desktop environment
determination. Supported values are GNOME and KDE.
@flag{gtk.window.force-background-colour}
If 1, the backgrounds of windows with the wxBG_STYLE_COLOUR background
style are cleared forcibly instead of relying on the underlying GTK+
window colour. This works around a display problem when running
applications under KDE with the gtk-qt theme installed (0.6 and below).
@endFlagTable
@section sysopt_mac Mac
@beginFlagTable
@flag{mac.window-plain-transition}
If 1, uses a plainer transition when showing a window.
You can also use the symbol wxMAC_WINDOW_PLAIN_TRANSITION.
@flag{window-default-variant}
The default variant used by windows (cast to integer from the wxWindowVariant enum).
Also known as wxWINDOW_DEFAULT_VARIANT.
@flag{mac.listctrl.always_use_generic}
Tells wxListCtrl to use the generic control even when it is capable of
using the native control instead. Also known as wxMAC_ALWAYS_USE_GENERIC_LISTCTRL.
@flag{mac.textcontrol-use-spell-checker}
If 1 activates the spell checking in wxTextCtrl.
@flag{osx.openfiledialog.always-show-types}
Per default a wxFileDialog with wxFD_OPEN does not show a types-popup on macOS but allows
the selection of files from any of the supported types. Setting this to 1 shows a wxChoice
for selection (if there is more than one supported filetype).
@endFlagTable
@section sysopt_motif Motif
@beginFlagTable
@flag{motif.largebuttons}
If 1, uses a bigger default size for wxButtons.
@endFlagTable
The compile-time option to include or exclude this functionality is wxUSE_SYSTEM_OPTIONS.
