Removed deprecated layout constraints from class summary, and more v* header reviews.

/**
    @wxheader{vector.h}

    wxVector<T> is a template class which implements most of the @c std::vector
    class and can be used like it.

    If wxWidgets is compiled in STL mode, wxVector will just be a typedef to
    @c std::vector. Just like for @c std::vector, objects stored in wxVector<T>
    need to be @e assignable but don't have to be @e "default constructible".

    Please refer to the STL documentation for further information.
