We have a problem where we have to minify HTML that contain custom components, and these components are processed by other systems.
Introduce a new flag,
preserve_self_closing_on_unknown_tags. When set, it preserves self-closing of all unknown tags, allowing them to preserve that attribute as they are processed by this minifier. Otherwise we do the standards compliant minification as normal.I'm not particularly happy about how this reuses
HTML_TAG_WHITESPACE_MINIFICATION. I'm open to suggestions on how to improve that, but it does allow us to move forward with a patch internally..Fixes #257
