[xmlsec] Allow parsing of huge documents

[Erwann ABALEA]

Bonjour,

I wanted to decrypt (from command line) a 40MB XML document, and
encountered a "huge memory" error (don't remember the exact error
message, but I've tracked it to be tied to a 10MB limit for a single
text node in libxml2).

I wanted to pass the necessary option to the parser context
(XML_PARSE_HUGE), but found no way to specify it.

In fact, the xmlsec1 program only calls the xmlSecParseFile()
function, with no other argument than the file name. I then had to
modify this function, here's a dirty patch:

-----

     }
 
+    xmlCtxtUseOptions (ctxt, XML_PARSE_HUGE);
+
     /* todo: set directories from current doc? */    
     if ((ctxt->directory == NULL) && (directory == NULL))
         directory = xmlParserGetDirectory(filename);
-----

This patch doesn't verify the result of xmlCtxtUseOptions(). That's
bad. I know.
