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.
