Fix XPointer paths beginning with range-to The old code would invoke the broken xmlXPtrRangeToFunction. range-to isn't really a function but a special kind of location step. Remove this function and always handle range-to in the XPath code. The old xmlXPtrRangeToFunction could also be abused to trigger a use-after-free error with the potential for remote code execution. Found with afl-fuzz. Fixes CVE-2016-5131.

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.
