Vadim Zeitlin 9a83f86094 Globally replace _T() with wxT().
Standardize on using a single macro across all wxWidgets sources and solve the name clash with Sun CC standard headers (see #10660).

/**
This macro can be used with character and string literals (in other words,
@c 'x' or @c "foo") to automatically convert them to wide strings in Unicode
builds of wxWidgets. This macro simply returns the value passed to it
without changes in ASCII build. In fact, its definition is:
@code
#ifdef UNICODE
# define wxT(x) L##x
#else // !Unicode
# define wxT(x) x
#endif
@endcode
Note that since wxWidgets 2.9.0 you shouldn't use wxT() anymore in your
program sources (it was previously required if you wanted to support Unicode).

@header{wx/chartype.h}

/**
wxS is macro which can be used with character and string literals (in other words,
@c 'x' or @c "foo") to either convert them to wide characters or wide strings
in @c wchar_t-based (UTF-16) builds or keep them unchanged in @c char-based
(UTF-8) builds.
Basically this macro produces characters or strings of type wxStringCharType.
The use of this macro is optional as the translation will always be done at
run-time even if there is a mismatch between the kind of the literal used
and the string or character type used in the current build.
However using it can be beneficial in <b>performance-sensitive code</b> to
do the conversion at compile-time instead.

/**
This macro is exactly the same as wxT() and is defined in wxWidgets simply
because it may be more intuitive for Windows programmers as the standard
Win32 headers also define it (as well as yet another name for the same
macro which is _TEXT()).
Don't confuse this macro with _()!
Note that since wxWidgets 2.9.0 the use of _T() is discouraged just like
for wxT() and also that this macro may conflict with identifiers defined in
standard headers of some compilers (such as Sun CC) so its use should
really be avoided.
