Cached wx documentation for CC

Because wxWidgets supplies their documentation separately from the source, CC is unable to display the documentation in popups.  I dumped much of the documentation into cc_wx_doc.xml.7z (Edit: See next post.), so extract the XML, put it in ~/.codeblocks/share/codeblocks/codecompletion/cc_wx_doc.xml or %AppData%\CodeBlocks\share\codeblocks\codecompletion\cc_wx_doc.xml and apply the attached patch.

Completely experimental patch, but it has had reasonable results for me, so far.

I haven't applied the patch, but very nice idea. One request: rename AppendDocumentation to AppendwxWidgetsDocumentation, or better yet AppendExternalDocumentation and make it GUI configurable to add other xml docs (assuming that such things exist in a standard format, otherwise don't worry about it)

Yes, currently this is just a quick hack of mine :) (because I was annoyed at switching tabs/windows too much).  I will try to clean it up a bit over the weekend.

Updated XML to address a few issues cc_wx_doc.xml_2.7z.
