Added some missing STL-like wxArray/wxArrayString constructors.

Added helper class wxCArrayString, better replacement for
wxArrayString::GetStringArray.
  Added overloaded constructors and Create() methods taking
a wxArrayString for wxCheckListBox, wxChoice, wxComboBox,
wxListBox, wxRadioBox, wxSingleChoiceDialog, wxMultipleChoiceDialog.
