gtkcompat.h:
#define gtk_combo_box_text_new_with_entry gtk_combo_box_entry_new_text

IIUC, I should now be using gtk_combo_box_text_new_with_entry. And any 
attempt to compile geanyinsertnum with a Geany lacking gtkcompat.h will
require gtk 2.24 or later.

But only if you are compiling with the newest Geany. So we are either
dropping the plugin compatibility with Geany <= 1.23, or with GTK+ <=
2.22. Of course, one can compile the plugins with Geany-git, and use
them with a stable Geany... I doubt thing many people will bother.

Maybe we should make gtkcompat.h part of the geany-plugins package?
Or define the symbols in the reverse way?
