Summary: Support for indeterminate mode gauges

Initial Comment:
This patch

  - adds the wxGauge::Update() function which allows to
dynamically switch from determinate mode to
indeterminate mode gauge

  - adds wxProgressDialog::UpdateIndeterminate which
makes wxProgressDialog use wxGauge::Update

  - adds docs for the functions above and move
wxProgressDialog style at the beginning of the docs (as
for all other windows)

  - modifies WIDGETS and DIALOGS samples to show the
new features

NOTE: patch tested on wxMSW and wxGTK. wxMac stubs are
added, but I don't know the syntax for the animate()
call; more info about it at:

http://developer.apple.com/documentation/Cocoa/Reference/ApplicationKit/Classes/NSProgressIndicator_Class/NSProgressIndicator_Class.pdf

NOTE2: the patch adds support for wxGauge::Update() in
wxMSW under windows XP only. Previous win version will
ignore wxGauge::Update()

NOTE3: maybe wxGauge::Update() should be renamed to
e.g. UpdateIndeterminate() so that it doesn't shadow
wxWindow::Update() and is more coherent with
wxProgressDialog::UpdateIndeterminate
