Subject: [PATCH] Fail parsing early on if encoding conversion failed

For https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=751631

If we fail conversing the current input stream while
processing the encoding declaration of the XMLDecl
then it's safer to just abort there and not try to
report further errors.

Upstream-Status: Backport

CVE: CVE-2015-8317
