conversion ignores "*" css selector

[Tor Andersson]

An EPUB with a CSS selector consisting of a plain wildcard, is not applied to the proper elements,
resulting in messed up paragraph spacing and margins if converting to MOBI.

Test a plain HTML page with this stylesheet:

* { margin: 0 }
p { text-indent: 1em }

Viewed as EPUB, the book has indented paragraphs with no space between. Converted to MOBI, the book has indented paragraphs with space between (default margins, as if the "*" selector was ignored).

This is a common selector in stylesheets from Hachette's recent book releases.

Tested with several versions of calibre. The problem still exists in version 2.3.0.

Fixed in branch master. The fix will be in the next release. calibre is usually released every Friday.
