Prior to this change the convert tool did could mangle
the value of html fields when importing static data.
This is because html does not support 'self-closing'
except for HTML5 where it is allowed on void elements (such as img).
Browsers will assume that they are opening tags, left unclosed.
<span/> becomes <span>
They will then try to repair them with variying degrees of success.
Example where it fails:
`<t><t/></t><t><t/></t>`
should become
`<t><t></t></t><t><t></t></t>`
but it becomes
`<t><t></t><t><t></t></t>`
i.e. instead of closing the 'self-closing' tag immediately,
it puts everything inside a single t node
More concretely:
```
<t t-if>
<t t-out />
</t>
<t t-else>
<t t-out/>
</t>
```
becomes
```
<t t-if>
<t t-out></t>
<t t-else>
<t t-out></t>
</t>
</t>
```
which is invalid
-------------------------
The fix is simply to tell lxml that we want to print the xml nodes
as HTML nodes. This will make sure the output is compliant with
the standard and keep the semantic clear for the browser.
The issue does not appear before 16.2, as jquery used to fix it
for us until an update here 9c41ee5091ac06ac3ca71aeac607195c70061e4a
