Generate the book in XHTML instead of HTML

Marcus Rueckert (darix) came with a solution on irc which makes xsltproc 
generate XHTML instead of HTML. This generates UTF-8 output instead of 
ISO-8859-1, which is a Good Thing in the long term when books in 
non-Western languages will be built. The HTML which is generated now 
also lacks a proper DOCTYPE declaration, which the XHTML version has. In 
addition, the XHTML version has proper indents in the header which makes 
it way more readable. The size doesn't increase much, less than 6k in 
the Norwegian single-page XHTML file. I have tested the patch with make 
all, and XHTML, PostScript and PDF generation works fine.

[[[
Change the xsl stylesheets in tools/ so xsltproc generates XHTML instead 
of HTML. Default character set is now UTF-8 instead of ISO-8859-1 and 
the XHTML is properly indented and contains a DOCTYPE declaration, which 
the previous HTML version lacked.

* src/tools/html-stylesheet.xsl
  Change <xsl:import href> to "xsl/xhtml/docbook.xsl".

* src/tools/chunk-stylesheet.xsl
  Change <xsl:import href> to "xsl/xhtml/chunk.xsl".
  Add <xsl:param name="chunker.output.indent">yes</xsl:param> .
