Description

Add more (saxon namespace) properties to return compile-time infomation about the target processor and compiler using fn:system-property(). Currently we have xsl:product-name and xsl:product-version: when XJ-compiling for JS, evaluated statically these return for instance "SAXON" and "JS 11.4". Note that the xsl:product-version value is made up of the target edition and compiler version number; but we don't get the compiler edition (EE). The property saxon:platform can also be used (with SaxonJS) to get run-time information about the platform ("Node.js" or "Browser").

(As originally suggested in SaxonJS Bug #5698: Changes for system-property().)
