[gtkmm/wip/dboles/make_managed-3] object: Add Gtk::make_managed<T>(args...) helper

commit 6ad91177d8133c926057773dd9b56f6a8fd33a72
Author: Daniel Boles <dboles src gmail com>
Date:   Sun Oct 7 13:09:49 2018 +0100

    object: Add Gtk::make_managed<T>(args...) helper
    
    To avoid the discouraged pattern of manually writing `new` and get
    tidier syntax, follow the example of std::make_(unique|shared)() by
    adding a new helper function that both constructs and manages a widget
    in one call. The user will not need to `new` and can user fewer parens.
    
      auto button = Gtk::manage(new Gtk::Button("_Hi", true));
    
    becomes
    
      auto button = Gtk::make_managed<Gtk::Button>("_Hi", true);
    
    Switch to make_managed() in tests and demo, albeit nowhere else (yet?).
