[opensource-dev] Mercurial hook checking for well-formed XML

We did something similar in Firestorm, but winthin the viewer, all
malformed XML is treated as an error in RelWithDebInfo and Debug.
Testing builds in RelWithDebInfo instead of release is always a good
idea anyway as it treats many silly goofs as errors instead of warns,
like missing settings.
