New issue 634 by pekka.klarck: Use `html` attribute with log messages in
XML outputs only when necessary to save space
http://code.google.com/p/robotframework/issues/detail?id=634
In RF 2.5.2 and earlier all log messages in XML outputs have `html`
attribute either with value `yes` or `no`. When XML is parsed, default
value `no` is used, though, so we need to write `html` attribute to XML
only when it has value `yes`. HTML messages are pretty rare so this change
makes XML a bit smaller. We also used similar approach with new `linkable`
attribute added when fixing issue 628.
This change is backwards-incompatible for external tools that expect log
messages always to contain `html` attribute. They need to be changed to use
`no` as a default.
