[PATCH] Teach xmerl_xpath to resolve context namespaces in more cases

These patches teach attribute name tests and node prefix (wildcard)
name tests to behave like element name tests.

Assuming the following document has been scanned with
`{namespace_conformant, true}`:

<root xmlns:ns1="http://www.example.com/ns">
  <child ns1:attr="example" />
</root>

The current behaviour is as such:

> [#xmlElement{}] = xmerl_xpath:string("/root/ns1:child", Doc).
> [#xmlAttribute{}] = xmerl_xpath:string("/root/ns1:child/@ns1:attr", Doc).
> [#xmlElement{}] = xmerl_xpath:string("/root/t:child", Doc,  [{namespace, [{"t", "http://www.example.com/ns"}]}]).
> [] = xmerl_xpath:string("/root/t:child/@t:attr", Doc,  [{namespace, [{"t", "http://www.example.com/ns"}]}]).

The latter case here is surprising, and should return the attribute as
it can be resolved by the provided namespace.
