Summary: Using wxSTAY_ON_TOP with MiniFrames

Initial Comment:
For Mac, wxSTAY_ON_TOP works fine for normal Frames, but not for MiniFrames. The problem is that MiniFrames are created with WindowClass kFloatingWindowClass. Windows of that class automatically get the kWindowHideOnSuspendAttribute attribute meaning that the windows are hidden when the application is suspended.

The following change to src/mac/carbon/toplevel.cpp in wxTopLevelWindowMac::MacCreateRealWindow will make it so MiniFrames can stay on top and remain visible when wxSTAY_ON_TOP is set.

Change:
	wclass = kFloatingWindowClass ;
to:
	wclass = HasFlag(wxSTAY_ON_TOP) ? kUtilityWindowClass : kFloatingWindowClass ;

This works because utility windows (which look and float like floating windows) don't automatically hide when the application is suspended.
