Corrected the following bugs

The attribute of overflow="hidden" was not outputted when outputting the area tree.
When script-font script="Latn" was specified inside the configuration file, the Latin script specified in FO was disregarded.
When there was an empty fo:wrapper with id setting in the head of the block and the block with span="all" followed that block, unnecessary column break occurred in the column document.
In the three column document, the page overflowed without braking the second column when the block with span="all" continued after the column.
When more than one number-rows-spanned were specified to table-cell and the page broke with the another table-cell, the height of the table became short though the content of the table-cell fitted within the page.
When font-size="0" was specified in MathML, the next block was not displayed correctly.
Japanese punctuation trimming was applied to characters other than full width.
When axf:overflow-condense="font-stretch" was specified, the amount of the stretch was too large.
text-align="." did not work.
The area tree could not be specified with the command line.
When there was a column document which did not fit in one page and it follows after the block with span="all" and the page broke, the page number was not displayed correctly.
axf:base-uri might not be reflected correctly to PDF.
Some CGM could not be displayed.
When fo:marker was specified near fo:leader, it was not processed correctly in Arabic.
