I did consider that.  The reason I went with the current approach is that
StartXML() only defines attributes on the <Site> tag, which doesn't
logically seem like the right location for this information.  Change ID
should be associated with the build/test/update/etc step being performed.
Instead, I followed the example set by <StartDateTime>, which is
independently set by each of the CTest handlers.

That being said, I don't have very strong feelings about this, so if you're
all okay with Change ID being a Site attribute I could move it to
StartXML().
