SRPM for gtk3

The type-ahead feature is broken in gtk3 after upgrade EL7 to 7.4.
Using gtk3 from EL 7.4, typing a letter in a fileselector dialog doesn't select the correspond file or folder.

This is known bug, already fixed in most popular distributions, including Arch and Ubuntu.

I already backported this patch and rebuilt gtk3 package for EL7 using Fedora Copr infrastructure.
