#40772: Shortcodes no longer work in text widget after upgrading to 4.8

--------------------------+-----------------------------
 The previous method of allowing shortcodes to execute in text widgets via
 {{{ add_filter('widget_text', 'do_shortcode'); }}} no longer works after
 upgrading to 4.8.

 Changing line 98 {{{ $text = apply_filters( 'widget_text_content',
 $widget_text, $instance, $this ); }}} to
 {{{ $text = apply_filters( 'widget_text_content', $text, $instance, $this
 ); }}} allows the filters applied via line 82 to pass through.
