gedit 3.8 compatibility

[jefferyto]

This updates the code to be compatible with gedit 3.8:

• Updated .plugin file (with a separate .plugin file for gedit <= 3.6).
• Fixed empty tab closing on launch. This should also be compatible with gedit <= 3.6, though I haven't tested it yet.

Would be great if this is merged soon as I have some other ideas I'd like to implement after this :-)

Thanks for getting this ported. Wondering is you might be able to help me get the gedit-django-project plugin up to gedit 3.8? I've tried, but I haven't used python3 enough to see what I'm missing.

Great fix - your port worked wonderfully on gedit 3.8.3, Ubuntu 13.10

@suprafly I'm a little low on free time lately, but I'll try to take a look at that plugin soon. If you post your work-in-progress (as a branch in your fork) and describe the error(s) you're seeing (as an issue, again in your fork), I might be able to help.

@mrkeyboard Thanks!

@jefferyto - Hey thanks for the help, i actually got it working. Just ran gedit from the terminal so I could catch the errors, then it was pretty straightforward. My fork has the working fix in it, just couldn't figure out how to merge it back in, as I'm currently travelling and my internet connectivity isn't great.

Here's the commit: https://github.com/suprafly/gedit-django-project/commit/91239147c08c394fc395ecd369f7562fb0e2533f

@jefferyto Thanks. I've used git heavily at work, this is my first time using it in a social way.
