[Bug 3083] [XSLT] escape-uri-attributes or include-content-type specified for xml output method

The WG agreed that this should be an error and asked the editor to draft
suitable text, checking first that all similar consistency issues are handled
in the same way.

I think the general rule should be: if the xsl:output method is explicitly
specified, and if a value is explicitly specified for a serialization parameter
that is not applicable to this output method, then:

* if the xsl:output declaration defining the output method has higher import
precedence than the declaration specifying the inapplicable parameter, the
inapplicable parameter is ignored [the reason for this rule is that it
otherwise becomes impossible for an importing stylesheet to change the output
method]

* otherwise a static error (XTST1565) is signaled.

This applies to the following combinations:

Method       Inapplicable parameters
======       =======================

XML          escape-uri-attributes, include-content-type

XHTML        (none)

HTML         omit-xml-declaration, standalone

TEXT         version, indent, cdata-section-elements, 
             omit-xml-declaration, standalone, 
             doctype-system, doctype-public,
             undeclare-prefixes, escape-uri-attributes,
             include-content-type
