[GRASSGUI] menuform as standalone program

[Daniel Calvelo]

Hi Jachym.

Well, it does run, only it starts with an empty Frame from which it
starts its mainFrame.

The refactoring I started yesterday is meant to remediate that. In
fact, mainFrame should be a wrapper around a wx.Panel, in which all
the logic would be embedded. That way, it could even be inserted in,
say, a window alongside the display manager, or a gismanager tab.

Another objective is to make menuform.py flexible enough to be fed
arbitrary grass_task descriptions, with arbitrary default and
prefilled arguments. In fact, the current use of the grass_task
structure for representing the command is arbitrary, and perhaps not
the best.

I'm on it... Since there is demand :) I'll prioritize the Frame/Panel
separation and standalone operation.

Details:

You can't start with self.parent=None because GUI.parseCommand opens
its own mainFrame, to which the parent is passed, and it must exist.
But mainFrame is a Frame, not a Panel, so you must parent it to some
Window. Currently that other Window is another (empty) mainFrame. I
added the "Testing purposes" comment as a bit of a joke on the
matter...

Daniel.
