wxFormBuilder did that automatically for me, and I split the conversion
and format upgrade into separate commits so it's more obvious what is
happening. Regenerating this dialog avoids a few deprecation warnings.

I'd also be fine leaving them as-is, but that's an extra step during
commits because there is no mechanism in git to keep the existing
format, the only option is to translate CRLF to LF during checkin.

We have quite many of these files. I'd touch them only when we change
them anyway, and then split the commits up in "rewrite linefeeds",
"upgrade schema" and "actual changes" so git-blame finds the appropriate
commit for each line (so people know that they need "git-blame -w").
