Vadim Zeitlin 17d72a48ff Fix bug with wxStopWatch::Start() not resuming paused stopwatch any more.
Since r69835 the stop watch remained paused even when Start() was called. Do
resume it when restarting it both for backwards compatibility and because it
makes more sense and also document this behaviour.

@class wxStopWatch
The wxStopWatch class allow you to measure time intervals.
For example, you may use it to measure the time elapsed by some function:
@code
wxStopWatch sw;
CallLongRunningFunction();
wxLogMessage("The long running function took %ldms to execute",
sw.Time());
sw.Pause();
... stopwatch is stopped now ...
sw.Resume();
CallLongRunningFunction();
wxLogMessage("And calling it twice took $ldms in all", sw.Time());
@endcode
Since wxWidgets 2.9.3 this class uses @c ::QueryPerformanceCounter()
function under MSW to measure the elapsed time. It provides higher
precision than the usual timer functions but can suffer from bugs in its
implementation in some Windows XP versions. If you encounter such problems,
installing a Microsoft hot fix from http://support.microsoft.com/?id=896256
could be necessary.
