Summary: Updates to Python ccwsclient lib and wxPython sample

Initial Comment:
The primary changes in this patch are:

- Switch the CcRest class to using standard Python libraries to reduce 
dependencies and greatly ease getting started. (I'll need to use this under 
Win and Mac as well as bundling)

- Set a default root URL for CcRest so that it "just works" without the user 
needing to explicitly specify a URL. However, if the user does pass in a URL 
it will be used instead.

- Rename CcRest's issue method to get_license_matching_options, as the 
issue/answers terminology led me to believe it had something to do with 
getting help for questions about fields/licensing issues.

- Rework the wx client to use the ccwsclient library.

- Tweak the UI a bit by adding more spacing between controls.

Also, there are a couple issues I was unable to resolve myself:

- Info returned by the REST interface seems not to be complete and/or the 
latest. The United States isn't listed in "Jurisdiction", and I'm getting 2.0 
licenses instead of the 3.0 licenses returned.

- The URL for locales seems to have changed, or else they've been removed. 
Currently, as before, there is no specific support for locales in CcRest, 
although the functions take locales as arguments.
