[issue25258] HtmlParser doesn't handle void element tags correctly

[Xiang Zhang]

Xiang Zhang added the comment:

>From the specification, void element has no end tag, so I think this
behaviour can not be called incorrect. For void element, only
handle_starttag is called.

And for start tag ends with '/>', actually HTMLParser calls
handle_startendtag, which invokes handle_starttag and
handle_endtag.

I think there are two solutions, filter void elements in the library
and then invoke handle_startendtag, or filter void elements in the
application in handle_starttag and then invoke handle_endtag.
