Title: un-anchored :hover issue

This is an extension to work already carried out by hpbuniat.
https://github.com/stubbornella/csslint/issues/116
However the rule he submitted did not work correctly and threw parser errors when there was a null before :hover
Thsi basic check below threw a cant read a null from text error.
div.test :hover{
}

This rule is important because it can cause very severe performance issues in IE7 if :hover is used and un-anchored.

(bug report about un-anchored hovers in IE7 and IE8)
