added xml namespace extension

A Silk instance will use its xml namespace as namespace for new elements created through the DNU mechanism.
Example:
  svg := Silk newElement: 'svg' xmlns: 'http://www.w3.org/2000/svg'. "this creates a new svg element in its proper namespace"
  svg CIRCLE: {'cx' -> 60. 'cy' -> 25. 'r' -> 10}.   "This creates a svg circle, not a html circle"

The current behavior is not affected, this is just a new optional feature.
