Minor HTML cleaner fix to produce valid HTML

As pointed out in this request, LiveJournal's HTML cleaner code has a minor bug. Basically, it'll convert the & entity into just a plain ampersand inside any tag attribute. I tracked down this source behavior to HTML::TokeParser. It decodes certain HTML entities before returning a token. This can be useful for some applications, but not in the case of the HTML cleaner. This patch fixes the problem by re-encoding the HTML entities inside of attributes.

I know Brad isn't going to look at this yet, but I thought that I'd post it anyway and see what other people think of it first.
