[xmlsec] External DTD support

I want to be use the xmlsec application to verify SOAP messages signed 
using WS-Security.  SOAP does not allow DTD's.  The attached patch adds 
a "--dtdfile FILENAME" option to xmlsec, so you can write a DTD that 
identifies ID attributes.  It includes documentation update (it seems 
xmlsec.xml is the place to update; I hope I did it right).

Perhaps more controversial, the patch always allows self-signed 
certificates. That part should, perhaps, be changed to allow self-signed 
certs if they were specified with the "--trusted" flag, but I haven't 
been able to figure out how to do that.
