[NSE] An XML parser for NSE

[Gyanendra Mishra <anomaly.the () gmail com>]

Hi,

I and Daniel Miller were thinking of introducing an XML parser to the Nmap
Scripting Engine. After discussion, we decided to use SLAXML, a SAX like
XML parser[1]. The main reasons we chose SLAXML was because it had a tiny
easy to maintain code base(dom and sax  in under 400 lines with
documentation) and also it seems dependable [apparently Wikimedia uses it].
The code comes with the MIT license and Daniel found out we already have
code running with that license.

I converted the code to be suitable for the NSE library[2]. The code
contains a parser class and a function. I have tried to document to make it
self-explanatory. Daniel asked me to show the use of the library and told
me to make use of the library in http-crossdomainxml[3].

Suggestions and feedback are requested and is appreciated :)
