heap-buffer-overflow in xmlFAParsePosCharGroup

https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=757711

* xmlregexp.c: (xmlFAParseCharRange): Only advance to the next character if there is no error. Advancing to the next character in case of an error while parsing regexp leads to an out of bounds access.
