Merge in the last year of work

[JoeHCQ1]

@kshomper, this PR has all the work from the last year. I realize this is a horribly non-agile way to do this, but for some reason me a year ago wanted to batch changes.

Here are the main changes/additions/improvements:

1. WxWidgets has been updated to wxWidgets 3.2
2. CedarLogic now predictably builds in a Linux environment
3. Build and related instructions have been improved
4. Multiple smaller code changes related to the update to the latest wxWidgets version.

Much of this code is thanks to @ArenM and @HRahikainen.

• I do not recommend yet changing the minor version, this is all still patching I believe. So v2.3.8 is more appropriate than v2.4.0
• There are definitely still things to do in the code-base, but I'd prefer to get these changes in, and move toward smaller batch sizes.

@JoeHCQ1 There are too many changes for me to evaluate them entirely; however, I trust your judgement and would like not to be a bottleneck to the activity. I also want to convey my appreciation also to @ArenM and @HRahikainen for their contributions, particularly the efforts to make CedarLogic cross platform.

[kshomper]

@JoeHCQ1 I have read through your comments and recommendation. Thank you for summarizing them so effectively.

3. d instruc

It's imposible to run cmake -B build -A Win32 from VS developer command prompt, it gives me an error when try to download wxWidgets. I have installed and compiled wxWidgets manually and the error continues.

Please, give better instructions to build, last version instructions was fine.

[ArenM]

@casanova-uja could you provided the error it gave you? It works fine for me, it's possible I set something else up and then forgot about it though.

@kshomper if you can click the green "approve" button I'll get these changes merged in and turn towards resolving bugs. (As I contributed code I can't click the green approve button and without it clicked I can't merge)

[kshomper]

Joe ... As requested. Thanks for all your oversight on this. Keith

[kshomper]

Approved as requested. Keith

I recently stumbled across this PR while attempting to modify the CedarLogic codebase. The build on the main branch seems to be broken and this PR works (at least on my Linux machine and my roommate's Windows machine), so it would be appreciated to merge the PR if it is ready.

just tested it myself on nixos (NixOS 25.05.20250809.c5f08b6 (Warbler) x86_64 and nixpkgs-unstable 005433b926e16227259a1843015b5b2b7f7d1fc3) and I can confirm basic features working as expected; this getting merged would be awesome as I'm going to submit a pr to nixpkgs soon and would love to not deal with branch breakage in the future
