artemp/mapnik — Issue #427: Have != as an alias for <> in filters

Rationale: <> has to be escaped as <> in XML. This makes it visually less attractive and makes it harder to type unless you resort to pasting it in from another filter.

Having the C-style != as an accepted alias would mean we don't need the entities.
