Allow entering more digits in wxSpinCtrl in wxMSW than fits into it.

Scroll the control automatically if there is not enough space. This is
consistent with (single line) wxTextCtrl and wxSpinCtrl under the other
platforms.

Closes #14211.

+Changes in behaviour visible to end users
+-----------------------------------------
+
+- In wxMSW wxSpinCtrl used to prevent the user from entering more digits than
+  could fit in its visible area. This was inconsistent with the other ports and
+  now the control scrolls if too much text is added.
