Regardless if the option HTML_PARSE_NOBLANKS is set or not, blank nodes
are removed from a HTML document, for example:
<html>
<head>
<title>This is a test.</title>
</head>
<body>
<p>This is a test.</p>
</body>
</html>
is read as:
<html><head><title>This is a test.</title></head><body>
<p>This is a test.</p>
</body></html>
This changes the default behaviour but the old behaviour is available
as expected when using the parser flag HTML_PARSE_NOBLANKS
Based on original patch from Igor Ignatyuk <igor_ignatiouk@hotmail.com>
* HTMLparser.c: change various places in the parser where ignorable_space
SAX callback was called without checking for the parser flag preference
* xmllint.c: make sure we use the new flag even for HTML parsing
* result/HTML/*: this modifies the output of a number of tests

"""
The charset attribute specifies the character encoding used by the document.
This is a character encoding declaration. If the attribute is present in an XML
document, its value must be an ASCII case-insensitive match for the string
"UTF-8" (and the document is therefore forced to use UTF-8 as its
encoding).
"""
However, while <meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html;
charset=utf8"> works, <meta charset="utf8"> does not.
While libxml2 HTML parser is not tuned for HTML5, this is a simple
addition
Also added a testcase
