Keep non-significant blanks node in HTML parser · f933c898

Regardless if the option HTML_PARSE_NOBLANKS is set or not, blank nodes
are removed from a HTML document, for example:

<html>
  <head>
    <title>This is a test.</title>
  </head>
  <body>
    <p>This is a test.</p>
  </body>
</html>

is read as:

<html><head><title>This is a test.</title></head><body>
    <p>This is a test.</p>
  </body></html>

This changes the default behaviour but the old behaviour is available
as expected when using the parser flag HTML_PARSE_NOBLANKS

Based on original patch from Igor Ignatyuk <igor_ignatiouk@hotmail.com>

* HTMLparser.c: change various places in the parser where ignorable_space
  SAX callback was called without checking for the parser flag preference
* xmllint.c: make sure we use the new flag even for HTML parsing
* result/HTML/*: this modifies the output of a number of tests
