update and bugfix wxPython30

x11-toolkits/wxPython30 recently got smacked with USE_GCC.

Quoting that commit:
"It turns out that wxPython30 won't build with clang at all.  The c++ code
is illegal according to clang (e.g. illegal cast), so remove the
USES=compiler setting and replace with USE_GCC=yes.  Tested on F8 and F10.
I apologize for adding the GCC dependence for F10+ users but I didn't see
any other simple fix."

However, I see a much simpler fix thatn pulling in GCC, which is to use a static_cast instead of reinterpret_cast. Building with Clang exposed two other bugs in the code thanks to the actually useful warnings.

1) if (depth = 32) should be if (depth == 32), corrected by updating to 3.0.2

2) two functions return a pointer to a string allocated on the local stack, corrected by using static allocation for the string constant

It is much better to fix the bugs than to use a compiler that accepts buggy code.

  x11-toolkits/py-wxPython30: Fix c++ code, drop gcc requirement

  While here, upgrade from version 3.0.0 to 3.0.2
  wxPython30 was obligated to build under c++11 standards, but the code
  was not compliant.  It now builds on system clang again.

Thanks.  
I'm on the road so I don't have access to poudriere facilities, so I really hope this builds on all platforms.  In other words, I just committed it without testing it myself (other than checksum)
