    Fix axis traversal from attribute and namespace nodes
    
    When traversing the "preceding" axis from an attribute node, we must
    first go up to the attribute's containing element. Otherwise, text
    children of other attributes could be returned. This made it possible
    to hit a code path in xmlXPathNextAncestor which contained another bug:
    The attribute node was initialized with the context node instead of the
    current node. Normally, this code path is only hit via
    xmlXPathNextAncestorOrSelf in which case the current and context node
    are the same.
    
    The combination of the two bugs could result in an infinite loop, found
    with libFuzzer.
    
    Traversing the "following" and the "preceding" axis from namespace nodes
    should be handled similarly. This wasn't supported at all previously.

    To build on an Unixised setup:
       ./configure ; make ; make install
    To build on Windows:
       see instructions on win32/Readme.txt
    
    To assert build quality:
       on an Unixised setup:
          run make tests
       otherwise:
           There is 3 standalone tools runtest.c runsuite.c testapi.c, which
           should compile as part of the build or as any application would.
           Launch them from this directory to get results, runtest checks 
           the proper functionning of libxml2 main APIs while testapi does
           a full coverage check. Report failures to the list.
