Summary: Release Window in wxSizerItem

Initial Comment:
When setting a sizer to point to a new item (Window, sizer or spacer), the previous window will have a pointer to the wxSizerItem. This pointer is not released unless we explicitely do so. When setting a wxSizerItem to point to something new, we must release the old item.

The symtom was that on shutting down my app, the dangling pointer in wxWindow (to the containing sizer) triggered a crash.

So I added a Release method and modified the SetWindow, SetSizer and SetSpacer methods. 

No doc needed for this, and the Release method is best as protected.

Keep up the good work!
