Rewrite wxLogXXX() macros to avoid "ambiguous else" warnings.

Use a dummy for loop instead of an if statement to avoid all problems with the
dangling else clauses: both the need for an artificially inversed "if" to make
the code like

	if ( something )
		wxLogError("...");
	else
		something-else;

to work as expected and to avoid warnings given by some versions of g++ and
clang for the code above advising to add explicit braces.

Closes #11829.
