GTK+ example: handle "toggled" signal of RadioButton and determine the active selected RadioButton in group

This example implement radioButton_toggled() to handle the "toggled" signal from RadioButtons. Inside radioButton_toggled(), check if the button is active by calling gtk_toggle_button_get_active(), to determine the active selected RadioButton in group, then display on Label.
