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 wxEventLoopBase
Base class for all event loop implementations.
An event loop is a class which queries the queue of native events sent
to the wxWidgets application and dispatches them to the appropriate
wxEvtHandlers.
An object of this class is created by wxAppTraits::CreateEventLoop() and
used by wxApp to run the main application event loop.
Temporary event loops are usually created by wxDialog::ShowModal().
You can create your own event loop if you need, provided that you restore
the main event loop once yours is destroyed (see wxEventLoopActivator).
Notice that there can be more than one event loop at any given moment, e.g.
an event handler called from the main loop can show a modal dialog, which
starts its own loop resulting in two nested loops, with the modal dialog
being the active one (its IsRunning() returns @true). And a handler for a
button inside the modal dialog can, of course, create another modal dialog
with its own event loop and so on. So in general event loops form a stack
and only the event loop at the top of the stack is considered to be active.
It is also the only loop that can be directly asked to terminate by calling
Exit() (which is done by wxDialog::EndModal()), an outer event loop can't
be stopped while an inner one is still running. It is however possible to
ask an outer event loop to terminate as soon as all its nested loops exit
and the control returns back to it by using ScheduleExit().

Yields control to pending messages in the windowing system.
This can be useful, for example, when a time-consuming process writes to a
text window. Without an occasional yield, the text window will not be updated
properly, and on systems with cooperative multitasking, such as Windows 3.1
other processes will not respond.
Caution should be exercised, however, since yielding may allow the
user to perform actions which are not compatible with the current task.
Disabling menu items or whole menus during processing can avoid unwanted
reentrance of code: see ::wxSafeYield for a better function.
You can avoid unwanted reentrancies also using IsYielding().
Note that Yield() will not flush the message logs. This is intentional as
calling Yield() is usually done to quickly update the screen and popping up
a message box dialog may be undesirable. If you do wish to flush the log
messages immediately (otherwise it will be done during the next idle loop
iteration), call wxLog::FlushActive.
Calling Yield() recursively is normally an error and an assert failure is
raised in debug build if such situation is detected. However if the
@a onlyIfNeeded parameter is @true, the method will just silently
return @false instead.

Works like Yield() with @e onlyIfNeeded == @true, except that it allows
the caller to specify a mask of the ::wxEventCategory values which
indicates which events should be processed and which should instead
be "delayed" (i.e. processed by the main loop later).
Note that this is a safer alternative to Yield() since it ensures that
only the events you're interested to will be processed; i.e. this method
helps to avoid unwanted reentrancies.
Note that currently only wxMSW and wxGTK do support selective yield of
native events coming from the underlying GUI toolkit.
wxWidgets events posted using wxEvtHandler::AddPendingEvent or
wxEvtHandler::QueueEvent are instead selectively processed by all ports.
