Add helper function GetRetainSize()

it will be useful for retain implementations.

use CLOCK_MONOTONIC instead of CLOCK_REALTIME for timer setup

CLOCK_REALTIME is a wall clock, that could change back and forth (user
changes system time, winter/summer time, NTP corrections and so on).
For real-time application CLOCK_MONOTONIC should be used, it doesn't
have such jumps.

Add function example to first_steps example

It'll be used in documentation to show how to create function in
Beremiz.

fix type introduced by f33942053466 (fix pylint warning "(undefined-loop-variable) Using possibly undefined loop variable 'X'")

Build by default with optimization level -O2 for GCC

before -O0 was used by default, that caused pretty bad performance.

Amd64, i6700k, 4200MHz, GNU/Linux (non-RT kernel), gcc 7.2.0

-------------------------------------
Optimization | EN/ENO |no EN/ENO |
-------------------------------------
default | 11 | 9.5 |
-O3 | 3.9 | 5.2 |
-O2 | 4 | 4.8 |
-Os | 4.1 | 3.5 |
-Ofast | 3.9 | 5.2 |
-------------------------------------

ARM, BBB Cortex-A8, 600Mhz, GNU/Linux, gcc 4.6.3

-------------------------------------
Optimization | EN/ENO |no EN/ENO |
-------------------------------------
default | 273 | 226 |
-O3 | 141.8 | 106.2 |
-O2 | 142 | 107 |
-Os | 152.5 | 112.2 |
-Ofast | 141.7 | 106.2 |
-------------------------------------

For embedded systems with size constaints (like Cortex-Mx, AVR and so
on) I usually use -Os. It gets pretty good results. For
GNU/Linux-based systems -O2 is usually a good choice, as you see the
test results.

fix hangs on mouse selection in case if wxPython uses wxWidgets with GTK3+ support

This is default configuration on Debian Buster+ and Ubuntu 18.04+.
Probably it'll fix completely problem with 'clipboard already open'
described in the previous commit 5ce6d08f ("make clipboard open minimal time as wxPython documentation recommends")
