TAGFILES broken in current Ubuntu Xenial (fixed in >=1.8.10)

[Jose Luis Rivero]

The version present in Ubuntu Xenial (1.8.9.1) has a severe bug for those of us using tagfiles.

Using a tagfile generated for another project some symbols from the current project are not being extracted anymore.
 - Upstream bug and full description in: https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=744762

To get a fix into the current development in Ubuntu Xenial I see two options:

1. Cherry pick the patch from the doxygen repository to our current 1.8.9.1 version
2. Sync the latest version (1.8.11) present in Debian experimental

I have time to work on 1 if we want to go with this option or if some work needs to be to port the option 2.
Thanks.

The related branch (forked from xenial-proposed) has the upstream modifications in the form of a patch applied to the current Xenial version. I've verified that the bug is present without the patched version and it is fixed with the changes.

I don't know why I can not request a merge in bzr doxygen branch as I did in the past with some other packages, sorry.

The version 1.8.11 has been synced from debian unstable. All done.
