Entities and includes not processed in mapnik XML stylesheets

Description
The current mapnik port version is not properly linking to the full libxml2 library, preventing it from handling XML entities or includes in stylesheets. What's surprising is that there is *some* XML support available, just not the advanced features. This used to work with version 2 of Mapnik in MacPorts.
I've attached some sample XML stylesheets that run properly on a Ubuntu 16.4 box with Mapnik 3.0.9. The examples require the current Mapnik 3 python bindings, which don't appear to install with the port. I installed them from GitHub (https://github.com/mapnik/python-mapnik/tree/v3.0.x)
Install the Python bindings and execute run.py. The script should generate three world maps that match the image files included in the tarball in the "expected" directory.

In the future, please Cc the port maintainers (port info --maintainers mapnik), if any.

I located this upstream issue, which seems to indicate a change in default behavior for Mapnik preferring boost::property_tree as an XML parser: https://github.com/mapnik/mapnik/issues/3191
Seems like this calls for a new variant if we can get it to override the default.

Patch to re-activate libxml2 support in a variant.

Looks like we were missing XMLPARSER=libxml2 as described here: https://github.com/mapnik/mapnik/wiki/ManagingLargeXmlFiles
Patch attached adds a libxml2 variant that works with XML entities and includes.
