Accept XML documents when xmloption = content, as required by SQL:2006+.

Previously we were using the SQL:2003 definition, which doesn't allow
this, but that creates a serious dump/restore gotcha: there is no
setting of xmloption that will allow all valid XML data.  Hence,
switch to the 2006 definition.

Since libxml doesn't accept <!DOCTYPE> directives in the mode we
use for CONTENT parsing, the implementation is to detect <!DOCTYPE>
in the input and switch to DOCUMENT parsing mode.  This should not
cost much, because <!DOCTYPE> should be close to the front of the
input if it's there at all.  It's possible that this causes the
error messages for malformed input to be slightly different than
they were before, if said input includes <!DOCTYPE>; but that does
not seem like a big problem.

In passing, buy back a few cycles in parsing of large XML documents
by not doing strlen() of the whole input in parse_xml_decl().

Back-patch because dump/restore failures are not nice.  This change
shouldn't break any cases that worked before, so it seems safe to
back-patch.

+ * The SQL/XML:2003 definition of CONTENT ("XMLDecl? content") is not

+ * the CONTENT type is not a proper superset of DOCUMENT.  SQL/XML:2006 and

+ * permissive" Document Node of the XQuery/XPath Data Model, such that any
+ * DOCUMENT value is indeed also a CONTENT value.  That definition is more
+ * useful, as CONTENT becomes usable for parsing input of unknown form (think
+ * pg_restore).

+ * As used below in parse_xml when parsing for CONTENT, libxml does not give
+ * us the 2006+ behavior, but only the 2003; it will choke if the input has
+ * a DTD.  But we can provide the 2006+ definition of CONTENT easily enough,
+ * by detecting this case first and simply doing the parse as DOCUMENT.
+ *
+ * A DTD can be found arbitrarily far in, but that would be a contrived case;
+ * it will ordinarily start within a few dozen characters.  The only things
+ * that can precede it are an XMLDecl (here, the caller will have called
+ * parse_xml_decl already), whitespace, comments, and processing instructions.
+ * This function need only return true if it sees a valid sequence of such
