    python/tests/sync.py assumes Python dictionaries are ordered
    
    For https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=734017
    
    Solaris has had libxml2 version 2.9.1 for a while, with Python versions 2.6 and
    2.7.  While preparing to also build a module for Python 3.4, we ran into an
    issue with the test case sync.py failing. The failure involved parsing a
    string that included a Python dictionary, then complaining when the order of
    the parsed result did not match the original order.  But Python dictionaries
    are unordered by definition; see section 5.5 of
    https://docs.python.org/2/tutorial/datastructures.html .  For whatever reason,
    Python 2.6 and 2.7 always happened to report the pair of values back in their
    original order, but with Python 3.4 the order is random.  The attached patch
    allows for either order; it also fixes a typo that was repeated several times
    thanks to the magic of copy & paste.

    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.
