[xml] userdata for SAX parsing with schema validation

[Lara Blatchford]

Hi - I have a simple SAX handler set up, and schema validation errors are being 
caught by my structured error handler.  So far so good.

It appears that the userdata argument to xmlSAXUserParseMemory must be the 
xmlSchemaSAXPlugPtr returned by the call to xmlSchemaSAXPlug, and that this 
pointer is passed as the ctx pointer to the SAX handler callbacks.

Is there any way for me to make a userdata pointer of my choosing available to 
my SAX handler callbacks while still getting schema validation?

My code is below, thanks for any suggestions!
