Subject: [PATCH] Fix nullptr deref with XPath logic ops

If the XPath stack is corrupted, for example by a misbehaving extension
function, the "and" and "or" XPath operators could dereference NULL
pointers. Check that the XPath stack isn't empty and optimize the
logic operators slightly.

Closes: https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/libxml2/issues/5

This is CVE-2018-14404.

Thanks to Guy Inbar for the report.
