Upstream commit:

Avoid an out of bound access when serializing malformed strings [CVE-2016-4483]

For https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=766414

* xmlsave.c: xmlBufAttrSerializeTxtContent() if an attribute value
  is not UTF-8 be more careful when serializing it as we may do an
  out of bound access as a result.
