Summary: make wxEvtHandler::AddPendingEvent virtual

Initial Comment:
would like to request making
wxEvtHandler::AddPendingEvent a virtual method.

If it is made virtual, then it makes custom event handlers derived from wxEvtHandler more flexible. For example you can have AddPendingEvent that doesn't add the event handler to the global list of all wx event handlers. This is useful for event processing in a thread where we want events to be processed from the context of the thread not from the main thread.

I have written a "CommandThread" class that can process wx events from the context of the thread, it works with connect or macros. But since AddPendingEvent isn't virtual, ::wxPostEvent doesn't behave in the way we would like as it calls wxEvtHandler::AddPendingEvent and not my custom AddPendingEvent.

Patch is in the attachment
