You don't need this! After xmlSearchNs() => xmlSearchNsByHref() change
you would simply need to insert xmldsig namespace with any desired
prefix anywhere in the DOM tree above the Signature node (e.g. in the
root node) and then xmlSecTmplSignatureCreate() and all other xmlsec
template functions will simply use :)
