Fix null-dereference crash in parse_xml_decl().
parse_xml_decl's header comment says you can pass NULL for any unwanted output parameter, but it failed to honor this contract for the "standalone" flag. The only currently-affected caller is xml_recv, so the net effect is that sending a binary XML value containing a standalone parameter in its xml declaration would crash the backend. Per bug #6044 from Christopher Dillard. In passing, remove useless initializations of parse_xml_decl's output parameters in xml_parse. Back-patch to 8.3, where this code was introduced.
