Bug 222893: textproc/libxml2: update to 2.9.6

--- Description ---
Our textproc/libxml2 in ports is at 2.9.4.

On Sep 4, 2.9.5 was released with some security fixes, from
http://xmlsoft.org/news.html:

Security:
Detect infinite recursion in parameter entities (Nick Wellnhofer),
Fix handling of parameter-entity references (Nick Wellnhofer),
Disallow namespace nodes in XPointer ranges (Nick Wellnhofer),
Fix XPointer paths beginning with range-to (Nick Wellnhofer)

On Oct 6, 2.9.6 was released with some more fixes.

Since libxml2 may parse untrusted input, a port update would be very welcom=
