The problem is we already allow it in tag names but not in attribute names. So
the proper fix is to allow underscore when the state is TPS_InTag; according
to XML spec [1], the underscore is a valid character in attribute names.

A possible downside is that we don't have underscores in HTML attribute names.
In this case, should it fail? I don't think so but...

The problem exists in 8.3, 8.4 and HEAD. It is a trivial fix so I think there
isn't a problem to back-patch it.
