Summary: Adds static function to test support for wxGLCanvas attribs.

Initial Comment:
This patch implements a static function IsDisplaySupported that tests if the specified attributes are supported by the platform embedding layer for OpenGL canvases.  It does this without first having to create a canvas. It uses existing methods for the Mac and X11-based wx implementations, while on MSW it calls ChooseMatchingPixelFormat directly.  The function is implemented for X11-based, Mac, and MSW builds.  A simple test has been added to samples/opengl/cube/cube.cpp to display a message in the statusbar if double buffering is not supported.

Thanks a lot for the nicely done patch!

I've applied it with only minor changes, the most important one being that
I declared the new function (once) in wx/glcanvas.h instead of doing it in
each of the derived classes.

BTW, if you want your name to appear in attributions in docs/changes.txt
please let me know it (putting "crjjrc" there is a bit cryptic although we
can do this too if you prefer, of course).
