Patch addressing issue

Description of problem:
I spent some time fuzzing this library until I got a crash. The crash is at
lib/metalink_pstate.c line 103. This is called by lib/libexpat_metalink_parser.c at line 81. The issue is that if "name" does not have NAMESPACE_SEPARATOR, then split_ns_name leaves ns_uri == NULL. The fix is to check ns_uri != NULL before using it in initial_state_start_fun at lines 103 and 119.

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
libmetalink-0.1.3-11
