Summary: xml.sax.saxutils.XMLGenerator mangles \r\n\t in attributes

Initial Comment:
xml.sax.saxutils.XMLGenerator does not escape \r, \n,
\t symbols when they are present in the attribute:

startElement("name", {"attrib": "value\nvalue"}) will
result in

<name attrib="value
value">

which will be normalized by XML parser to <name
attrib="value value">

According to the XML specs, to preserve this symbols in
the attribute values, they should be replaced with \xD;
\xA; \x9;

Trivial fix is to replace those characters in
xml.sax.saxutils.writeattr
