Mac/iOS: Add return value to dw_window_set_bitmap(_from_data) in resource refactoring. They now return DW_ERROR_NONE on success, DW_ERROR_UNKNOWN on invalid parameters and DW_ERROR_GENERAL when failing to load the bitmap. This change came when I discovered Xcode UI does not allow subfolders in the copied resources. dwtest has been modified to function in either way... from a compiled app bundle or from the build directory. The API change should not affect apps, but may require changes to other language bindings. Follow ups for the other platforms will be coming shortly.

-- Special notes for version 3.1 --
Version 2.4 has started a transition to Unicode on OS/2. Warp 4 and 
later have fairly decent support for UTF-8 via codepage 1208, however 
there are some known input problems, which shall be worked around
in future versions.  For English or non-input applications Unicode
is the recommended version, however for applications that have not 
been converted to UTF-8 or which are experiencing input problems,
a non-Unicode version of the DLL is included.
