Summary: wxComboCtrl Windows LnF improvements (mostly Vista)

Initial Comment:

This patch changes wxComboCtrl to use the extra
provisions for drawing themed comboboxes under Windows
Vista. In addition, themed drawing for WinXP is
improved for themes that use image file as a combobox
background (instead of a simple border fill).

Since comboboxes look and act a bit differently under
Vista, several additions, changes and fixes to
wxComboCtrlBase are done in order to improve LnF to
match as closely as possible.

Also, few mouse-event handling issues, related to the
popup animation feature, were fixed.

This patch also re-applies a single-line patch
(#1586710 - TEXTCTRLYADJUST_CLASSIC) one that my
previous patch accidentally reverted (sorry about that).

Since all the two above issues are related Windows LnF,
I thought placing everything in the same patch was
acceptable. I have also tested this patch on wxGTK, to
make sure the changes didn't break anything on that end.
