adds code to access combo box's entry, if present

The doc for gtk_combo_box_text_get_active_text states that
if the combo_box "contains an entry, this function will 
return its contents (which will not necessarily be an item 
from the list)." But it doesn't. The attached patch
should fix this.

I attached a minimal test case.

Select one of the drop-down strings from the combo
box and click "Show active text on stderr": fine.

Type something into the entry and click "Show active 
text on stderr": you get NULL.
