Vadim Zeitlin 01f9accd19 Remove wxPM, wxWidgets port to OS/2.
This port is not used and is not being worked on, so remove it to reduce the
amount of the code which needs to be updated for every global change.

Also remove tests for VisualAge compiler which isn't used since ages.

@class wxEncodingConverter
This class is capable of converting strings between two 8-bit encodings/charsets.
It can also convert from/to Unicode.
Only a limited subset of encodings is supported by wxEncodingConverter:
@c wxFONTENCODING_ISO8859_1..15, @c wxFONTENCODING_CP1250..1257 and
@c wxFONTENCODING_KOI8.
@note
Please use wxMBConv classes instead if possible. wxCSConv has much better
support for various encodings than wxEncodingConverter.
wxEncodingConverter is useful only if you rely on wxCONVERT_SUBSTITUTE mode
of operation (see wxEncodingConverter::Init()).

Supported platforms:
@li wxPLATFORM_UNIX

wxPLATFORM_CURRENT means the platform this binary was compiled for.
Examples:
@verbatim
current platform enc returned value
----------------------------------------------
unix CP1250 {ISO8859_2}
unix ISO8859_2 {ISO8859_2}
windows ISO8859_2 {CP1250}

Equivalence is defined in terms of convertibility: two encodings are
equivalent if you can convert text between then without losing
information (it may - and will - happen that you lose special chars
like quotation marks or em-dashes but you shouldn't lose any diacritics
and language-specific characters when converting between equivalent encodings).
Remember that this function does @b NOT check for presence of
fonts in system. It only tells you what are most suitable
encodings. (It usually returns only one encoding.)
@note Note that argument enc itself may be present in the returned array,
so that you can, as a side-effect, detect whether the encoding is
native for this platform or not.
@note Convert() is not limited to converting between equivalent encodings,
it can convert between two arbitrary encodings.
@note If @a enc is present in the returned array, then it is always the first
item of it.
@note Please note that the returned array may contain no items at all.

Initialize the conversion.
Both output or input encoding may be wxFONTENCODING_UNICODE, but only
if wxUSE_ENCODING is set to 1.
All subsequent calls to Convert() will interpret its argument
as a string in @a input_enc encoding and will output string in
@a output_enc encoding.
You must call this method before calling Convert. You may call
it more than once in order to switch to another conversion.
@a method affects behaviour of Convert() in case input character
cannot be converted because it does not exist in output encoding:
@li @b wxCONVERT_STRICT: follow behaviour of GNU Recode - just copy
unconvertible characters to output and don't change them
(its integer value will stay the same)
@li @b wxCONVERT_SUBSTITUTE: try some (lossy) substitutions - e.g.
replace unconvertible latin capitals with acute by ordinary
capitals, replace en-dash or em-dash by '-' etc.
Both modes guarantee that output string will have same length
as input string.
@return @false if given conversion is impossible, @true otherwise
(conversion may be impossible either if you try to convert
to Unicode with non-Unicode build of wxWidgets or if input
or output encoding is not supported).
