Summary: Report byte offsets for attr names and values

Initial Comment:
The attached patch exposes a new API for querying the byte offsets of attribute names and values. The new API is XML_GetAttributeInfo(), which returns a structure with four byte offsets: attribute name start & end, and attribute value start & end.

We use this new functionality in our indexing software at the University of Michigan Libraries; we needed to be able to index all parts of the source XML file, including attributes.

Patch is against the latest CVS sources. Thank you for your attention.
