Summary: [wxMSW] PROOF_QUALITY system option

Initial Comment:

Certain fonts became unavailable with 2.8.0 due to the introduction of PROOF_QUALITY. Please consider making it optional with wxSystemOptions.

For instance:

void wxNativeFontInfo::Init()
{
    wxZeroMemory(lf);

    // we get better font quality if we use this instead of DEFAULT_QUALITY
    // apparently without any drawbacks
#ifdef __WXWINCE__
    lf.lfQuality = CLEARTYPE_QUALITY;
#else
    lf.lfQuality = wxSystemOptions::GetOptionInt(_T("msw.font.proof")) ? PROOF_QUALITY : DEFAULT_QUALITY;
#endif
}

Notes:
- I chose to close bug #1612272 (same issue)
- The hack I described there doesn't work for wxStyledTextCtrl (wxFont instances are kept private), hence this request for a global setting.
- Certain fonts: Terminal 6pt, great for code editing!

Thanks

Added msw.font.no-proof-quality system option (both HEAD and 2.8). But we
probably need a better API in wxFont itself for this as typically you might
want to use higher quality for some fonts even if default quality is enough
for most of them.
