Currently all operators are left-associative with no particular precedence. This
causes a few specs to fail for now. Outside of that the new parser should be
able to parse the same input as the Racc based parser.
Removing this makes the process of parsing larger XML documents a bit faster.
The downside is that NodeSet#initialize will no longer filter out duplicate
nodes, though this is not something Oga itself relies upon.
Methods such as NodeSet#push still do ignore elements already present.
This was utterly broken, mainly due to me overlooking it. There are now 2 new
callbacks to handle this properly:
* on_attribute: to handle a single attribute/value pair
* on_attributes: to handle a collection of attributes (as returned by
on_attribute)
By default on_attribut returns a Hash, on_attributes in turn merges all
attribute hashes into a single one. This ensures that on_element _actually_
receives the attributes as a Hash, instead of an Array with random
nil/XML::Attribute values.
Using Array#+ for large sets (e.g. in the benchmarks) is _really_ slow.
Interesting enough Array#unshift uses as much memory as the Racc parser and is
about as fast, even though it has to move memory around.
Instead of decoding entities in the lexer we'll do this whenever XML::Text#text
is called. This removes the overhead from the parsing phase and ensures the
process is only triggered when actually needed. Note that calling #to_xml and/or
the #inspect methods on a Text (or parent) instance will also trigger the entity
conversion process.
The new entity decoding API supports both regular entities (e.g. &) as well
as codepoint based entities (both regular and hexadecimal codepoints).
To allow safe read-only access to Text instances from multiple threads a mutex
is used. This mutex ensures that only 1 thread can trigger the conversion
process.

This basically re-applies the technique used for HTML <script> tags. With this
extra addition I decided to rename/normalize a few things so it's easier to add
any extra tags in the future. One downside of this setup is that the following
will not be parsed by Oga:
<style>
</script>
</style>
The same applies to script tags containing a literal </style> tag. Since this
particular case is rather unlikely to occur I'm OK with not supporting it as it
_does_ simplify the lexer quite a bit.
