Use XDG-compliant location by default in wxFileConfig

Browse source 
Still use the traditional dot file if it already exists, but prefer
using the new location otherwise, i.e. for the new program installation.

Add wxCONFIG_USE_HOME to allow forcing the use of the old location if
really necessary.

Also use the new style as default "old style" of MigrateLocalFile() so
that calling it even when using XDG layout in wxStandardPaths still
works as expected.

wxGLAttributes::Samplers(1).SampleBuffers(4) explicitly if you need to keep
using the same attributes that were previously used by default.
- Default location of file used by wxFileConfig under Unix has changed to
XDG-compliant ~/.config/appname.conf instead of ~/.appname but note that
any existing files at the old location will still continue to be used.
See wxCONFIG_USE_XDG and wxCONFIG_USE_HOME for how to customize this
behaviour. You may also find wxFileConfig::MigrateLocalFile() useful.
- As first mentioned in 3.0 release notes, the value of wxTHREAD_WAIT_DEFAULT,
used by wxThread::Delete() and Wait() by default, has changed from
wxTHREAD_WAIT_YIELD to wxTHREAD_WAIT_BLOCK for safety and consistency.
