Need an preserve foreign attributes in a schema and return them via api.

[GoogleCodeExporter]

Foreign attributes are non-xsd attributes that can be present in a schema and 
be used to convey application specific metadata.

This will be needed for being on par with our old APIs as well.

and Foreign Namespace Attributes need to preserve the namespace context to 
resolve possible QNames in values

Patch submitted by Yury to the mailing list, with some updates and discussion 
that occurred offline, to get clarity. This is going to be completed in stages, 
though: api + bridgekit first, then modifications to the processor.

Also note that while there is a TODO noting the need for QName-in-content 
support, we're not doing that to start with (QNames in content are *evil*).

Most of the work for this has been done by r411. api and bridgekit changes were 
committed in r404. r405 to r409 involved cleaning up the mess in the parser 
impl, which included renaming the xmlrep schema model (a more lexical model 
than the api model) in a way that allows it to be exported (no "impl" particle 
in the package name), together with ruthless reorganization of the parser 
(though I didn't touch the exceptions, which are an abomination in the sight of 
Gosling).

At this point, the schema parser preserves foreign attributes, passing them to 
the xmlrep model. The API/bridgekit model exposes foreign attributes. However, 
I have not connected the pieces (XMLSchemaConverter doesn't copy the attributes 
from xmlrep to api model, yet).
