Fix and add const qualifiers For https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=689483 It seems there are functions that do use the const qualifier for some of the arguments, but it seems that there are a lot of functions that don't use it and probably should. So I created a patch against 2.9.0 that makes as much as possible const in tree.h, and changed other files as needed. There were a lot of cases like "const xmlNodePtr node". This doesn't actually do anything, there the *pointer* is constant not the object it points to. So I changed those to "const xmlNode *node". I also removed some consts, mostly in the Copy functions, because those functions can actually modify the doc or node they copy from

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.
