No error is reported for `schema-element(*:foo)`

Applies to branch:
11, 12, trunk
Fix Committed on Branch:
11, 12, trunk
Description
If 4.0 syntax is enabled, Saxon incorrectly accepts the forms schema-element(*:foo) and schema-element(foo:*) (but correctly rejects schema-element(*)). Ditto for schema-attribute(...).
Updated by Michael Kay 9 months ago
In fact, on the 12.x branch, the expression
{<a/> instance of schema-element(*:a)}
fails with
java.lang.IllegalArgumentException: Primary item type must not be null
at net.sf.saxon.expr.InstanceOfExpression.<init>(InstanceOfExpression.java:45)
That is, the schema-element test is parsed without error, but the resulting SequenceType is unusable.

It seems that on 11.x, the incorrect syntax produces a test that matches everything; on 12.x, it produces a test that crashes when evaluated.
Fixed on both branches (the code is rather different in the two cases).
