[MiniXML] Error with <!DOCTYPE...> tags

Description 

Documents with <!DOCTYPE...> tags produce an error with MiniXML.  Not sure if 
the lib should try to make sense of those tags, but it should at least ignore 
them.

Note that those tags can contain other tags inside a [...] block, so it's not 
just a matter of looking for the next '>' to skip a single tag.  See the OGC WMS 
spec documents for examples.

I have added a new CXT_Literal node type to cpl_minixml. Currently only 
<!DOCTYPE ...> is collected as a literal node, but in the future we could 
suck basically any special XML/SGML junk that doesn't fit the normal hierarchical
model into this kind of the node.  The literal node isn't processed at all, and
when deserializing is just emitted as is (on it's own line with indentation). 

The gdal/port/xmlformat program now works like this:

warmerda@gdal[284]% cat test.xml
<!DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD HTML 3.2//EN">
<abc><def attr="123" /></abc>
warmerda@gdal[285]% xmlreformat test.xml
<!DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD HTML 3.2//EN">
<abc>
  <def attr="123"/>
</abc>
