Vadim Zeitlin 3f66f6a5b3 Remove all lines containing cvs/svn "$Id$" keyword.
This keyword is not expanded by Git which means it's not replaced with the
correct revision value in the releases made using git-based scripts and it's
confusing to have lines with unexpanded "$Id$" in the released files. As
expanding them with Git is not that simple (it could be done with git archive
and export-subst attribute) and there are not many benefits in having them in
the first place, just remove all these lines.

If nothing else, this will make an eventual transition to Git simpler.

Closes #14487.

@class wxHelpControllerHelpProvider
wxHelpControllerHelpProvider is an implementation of wxHelpProvider which
supports both context identifiers and plain text help strings. If the help
text is an integer, it is passed to wxHelpController::DisplayContextPopup().
Otherwise, it shows the string in a tooltip as per wxSimpleHelpProvider. If
you use this with a wxCHMHelpController instance on windows, it will use
the native style of tip window instead of wxTipWindow.
You can use the convenience function wxContextId() to convert an integer
context id to a string for passing to wxWindow::SetHelpText().

@class wxContextHelp
This class changes the cursor to a query and puts the application into a
'context-sensitive help mode'. When the user left-clicks on a window
within the specified window, a @c wxEVT_HELP event is sent to that control,
and the application may respond to it by popping up some help.
For example:
@code
wxContextHelp contextHelp(myWindow);
@endcode
There are a couple of ways to invoke this behaviour implicitly:
- Use the wxDIALOG_EX_CONTEXTHELP style for a dialog (Windows only). This
will put a question mark in the titlebar, and Windows will put the
application into context-sensitive help mode automatically, with further
programming.
- Create a wxContextHelpButton, whose predefined behaviour is
to create a context help object. Normally you will write your application
so that this button is only added to a dialog for non-Windows platforms
(use wxDIALOG_EX_CONTEXTHELP on Windows).
Note that on Mac OS X, the cursor does not change when in context-sensitive
help mode.

Instances of this class may be used to add a question mark button that when

On Windows, you may add a question-mark icon to a dialog by use of the
wxDIALOG_EX_CONTEXTHELP extra style, but on other platforms you will have
to add a button explicitly, usually next to OK, Cancel or similar buttons.
