wxGUI: Fix key binding issues on mac (#818)

Fixes #785

The main problem with stock id buttons is that they all come with a key binding. E.g. Close, Clear and Copy have the same key binding ctrl+c and causes problems at least for mac. To remedy this issue we are using subclassed versions of Button: ClearButton, CancelButton, ApplyButton).

I also made some effort to implement ESC to close dialog (attribute table manager, mapcalc)

Note: for module dialogs (forms.py) and Map calculator I have replaced ctrl+c to copy selected text, not to copy the whole command.
