This makes `dom-print` encode HTML reserved characters that occur in
string elements of the DOM, to ensure the validity of the result.

For example, put the following in `foo.html`:

--8<---------------cut here---------------start------------->8---
<html><body>
Add ‘<samp class="samp">&lt;div class="default"&gt; &lt;/div&gt;</samp>’ tags around the fontified body.
<body><html>
--8<---------------cut here---------------end--------------->8---
(Fragment from https://www.gnu.org/software/emacs/manual/html_mono/htmlfontify.html)

Open that file in Emacs and say `M-: (require 'dom)` and then
`(dom-print (libxml-parse-html-region))` in the HTML buffer.  This
produces invalid HTML since `libxml-parse-html-region` correctly decodes
HTML entities, but `dom-print` doesn't encode (without this patch).
