The following was implemented:
If a file that is reference in an XML file has no path it will be assumed that the file is located in the same directory as the XML file. In reading the XML file, the path of the XML file will be prepended to the file, and before writing it will be stripped again.
The logic for this has been implemented in the gammalib::xml_file_expand() and gammalib::xml_file_reduce() functions that will be called from the relevant XML methods.
The XML classes had also be reorganised to correctly pass the parent pointers to the children (this is now done in GXmlNode instead of GXmlElement. It is therefore possible to deduce the name of an XML file from each of its nodes (the GXmlNode::filename() method has been implemented for that).
