Add htmlAttr to Text.XHtml

It is necessary to allow HTML primitive characters such as "×" in string attributes, e.g.

<input type="image" src="delete.gif" alt="×" name=...>

However, passing "×" to strAttr results in an encoded string "&times;", which doesn't render the nice little x we need. Attached is a patch to add an htmlAttr function so we can say

input ! [strAttr "type" "image", strAttr "src" "delete.gif", htmlAttr "alt" (primHtmlChar "times")]
