Recommend building just "minimal" sample

Browse source 
Don't tell people to build all the samples and demos because this takes
time and some of them are badly outdated. Do tell them to build and run
the minimal one to check that things work as intended.

Also remove links to the wiki from wxOSX instructions, there is not much
useful from non-archaeological point of view there.

You may also prefer to add `-s` option to avoid normal output from make and/or
redirect it you to a log file for further inspection.
Build the samples and demos
You should build at least the smallest possible wxWidgets sample to verify that
everything is working as intended, by doing
cd samples/minimal
make
and then running `minimal.app` from this directory from Finder.
If you'd like to, you can also build all the other samples and demos
cd samples; make;cd ..
cd demos; make;cd ..
After the compilation completes, use Finder to run the samples and demos
* Go to build-cocoa-debug/samples to experiment with the Cocoa samples.
* Go to build-cocoa-debug/demos to experiment with the Cocoa demos.
* Double-click on the executables which have an icon showing three small squares.
* The source code for the samples is in wxWidgets/samples
* The source code for the demos is in wxWidgets/demos
More information about building on macOS is available in the wxWiki.
