[Lazarus] malformed ifdef in gtkdefines.inc

[ik]

I have a code for bidi that I wrote a while ago that uses the define
of GTK_2_8 but it was broken when someone moved the defines to a non
unix IFDEF !
The moving of the define broke code. and the BiDi code uses GTK 2.8
based functions (that prior to that versions we had different
functions that are depercated).
So I must have this define, or we should extract the functions
regardless of the GTK_2_8 symbol, and then we will not require the
define.
