Some updates to the documentation regarding Python 3 and wxPython 4.

This work is not complete and the install and build instructions need to be sanity checked and updated for modern versions of all three platforms.

3. ### wxPython libraries ###
The GUI user interface uses the wxPython libraries.
The recommended way of installing is through `pip` and described this page:
http://www.wxpython.org/download.php
https://www.wxpython.org/download.php
There are many different wxPython packages. You should choose a 32-bit
package that matches your Python version (e.g., 2.7). It is
recommended to select the unicode version from the stable releases.
This version of Scyther requires at least **wxPython 4.0**. Note that older versions of Scyther did not work with wxPython 4.
As of writing (May 2013) the following links lead to the appropriate
wxPython packages for Python 2.7:
* **Windows**
http://downloads.sourceforge.net/wxpython/wxPython2.8-win32-unicode-2.8.12.1-py27.exe
* **Mac OS X**
http://downloads.sourceforge.net/wxpython/wxPython2.8-osx-unicode-2.8.12.1-universal-py2.7.dmg
Note that this package is in an old format and you will probably
get a warning "Package is damaged". This can be resolved by:
```
$ sudo installer -pkg /Volume/.../wxPython2.8-osx-unicode-universal-py2.7.pkg/ -target /
```
* **Ubuntu/Debian Linux**
http://wiki.wxpython.org/InstallingOnUbuntuOrDebian
For Ubuntu users, it is important to add an additional parameter, e.g., for Ubuntu 20.04, the recommended pip install is:
```
$ sudo apt install python-pip
$ pip install -U \
-f https://extras.wxpython.org/wxPython4/extras/linux/gtk3/ubuntu-20.04 \
