    Add missing increments of recursion depth counter to XML parser.
    
    For https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=765207
    CVE-2016-3705
    The functions xmlParserEntityCheck() and xmlParseAttValueComplex() used to call
    xmlStringDecodeEntities() in a recursive context without incrementing the
    'depth' counter in the parser context. Because of that omission, the parser
    failed to detect attribute recursions in certain documents before running out
    of stack space.

    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.
