Manual typing new items

[MichaelZelensky]

Hi! I want to contribute to this work. I used the plugin (jQuery) in one of my projects and extended it with a new functionality which allows to turn the select field into a container with manually added items. It looks like this:

1. You add <select id="myselect"> element
2. $('#myselect').chosen({type_only: true});
3. You see the chosen widget on your resulting html page
4. Start typing your search string in the widget
5. Hit Enter when finised typing
6. A new item appears in the widget, just like if you selected one option

Note, that in this mode the plugin doesn't have search results displaying and all options are ignored. This copies the interactivity of Tag field in SO 'ask question' form.

If you think that the plugin will benefit from this extention, I will commit and possibly continue with helping with other issues.

Thanks!
