Add new function dw_render_redraw() which will trigger expose event on render widgets. This is to help optimize drawing on GTK4 and GTK3 with Wayland. To make existing code function on GTK4 and GTK3 with Wayland, drawing outside of a callback will mark widgets dirty and dw_flush() will trigger draw/expose callbacks on them. This may result in double drawing the widgets. dw_render_redraw() will allow you to just trigger the draw event without actually attempting to draw, allowing one draw pass in the expose callback. Only tested on Windows, may require fixes on other platforms.

-- 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.
