  entry: Compute selection range correctly
           
  gtk_editable_get_selection_bounds() returns UTF-8 character offsets,
  but gdk_pango_layout_get_clip_region() wants byte ranges, so convert
  from one to the other.
  With English, this is especially visible for passwords, which use ●
  as the invisible character.
