Motivation for this change

Erlang fails to build since gst-plugins-base 0.10.36 is marked as broken. Erlang depends on wxGTK 3.0, which depends on the broken gst-plugins-base. Upgrading to wxGTK 3.1 solves this issue. wxWidgets 3.1 seems supported as it is mentioned a couple of times in the release notes of the wxErlang module.

Verified that it works by building erlangR22 and running erl -eval 'observer:start().' which to my knowledge is an application that uses wxWidgets.

Things done
  • Tested using sandboxing (nix.useSandbox on NixOS, or option sandbox in nix.conf on non-NixOS linux)
  • Built on platform(s)
    • NixOS
    • macOS
    • other Linux distributions
  • Tested via one or more NixOS test(s) if existing and applicable for the change (look inside nixos/tests)
  • Tested compilation of all pkgs that depend on this change using nix-shell -p nixpkgs-review --run "nixpkgs-review wip"
  • Tested execution of all binary files (usually in ./result/bin/)
  • Determined the impact on package closure size (by running nix path-info -S before and after)
  • Ensured that relevant documentation is up to date
  • Fits CONTRIBUTING.md.

Scratch that, it doesn't work.. forgot to put ./ in front of the erl 🤦‍♂️

=ERROR REPORT==== 20-Jul-2020::13:29:06.443614 ===
ERROR: Could not find 'wxe_driver.so' in: /nix/store/4wf3hrbv6h9nhaipfm50fh3f6hw444mc-erlang-23.0.2/lib/erlang/lib/wx-1.9.1/priv

Apparently it's not building the driver anymore. I'll see if I can find out why.

wx             : wxWidgets was not compiled with --enable-compat28, wx will NOT be useable
Can not link the wx driver, wx will NOT be useable

Also noticed that wxGTK30 is build with gstreamer 1.x now, so this whole PR is not needed.
