    Allow HTML serializer to output HTML5 DOCTYPE
    
    For https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=747301
    
    Use simple HTML5 DOCTYPE for about:legacy-compat
    
    HTML5 uses a DOCTYPE without a PUBLIC or SYSTEM identifier. It looks
    like this:
    
    <!DOCTYPE html>
    
    I can't use XSLT to output this, because to get a DOCTYPE I have to
    provide a PUBLIC or SYSTEM identifier. Luckily, the standards folks
    recognized this and provided this semantically equivalent form for the
    HTML DOCTYPE:
    
    <!DOCTYPE html SYSTEM "about:legacy-compat">
    
    But people don't like seeing the "legacy" identifier in their output.
    They'd rather see the shiny new DOCTYPE. Since we know that
    about:legacy-compat is defined by the W3C to be semantically equivalent
    to the sans-SYSTEM DOCTYPE, we could just special-case it in the HTML
    serializer in libxml2. So if you set the SYSTEM identifier to
    "about:legacy-compat", you get an HTML5 short-form DOCTYPE.

    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.
