libxml2 2.12.0 (and 2.12.1) in rawhide, with some API breaks

[David King]

The latest released versions of libxml2 have a couple of important changes in header files that have unintentionally caused some packages to fail to build without modification, including:

* several functions now accept or return a const xmlError struct

https://src.fedoraproject.org/rpms/xmlsec1/pull-request/4



Thanks to davidlt for spotting the breakages!

* cyclic dependencies in header files were fixed (by dropping some includes) Most failures that have been witnessed so far by davidlt while rebuilding RISCV packages, and have been related to the xmlError const change, but xmlsec1 was hit by the include changes: As libxml2 is used rather widely, I expect more changes to come up over time, so please feel free to ask me for help (amigadave on IRC, or Cc <amigad...@amigadave.com> on bugs) and I will be happy to submit patches upstream and do builds; I am a provenpackager, so happy to help.
