add hOCR output format to TesseractParser

On mobile, can't do full review. If hocr output is xhtml, we'll prob want to parse it and transfer elements to the tika handler; otherwise we'll have a blob of encoded xhtml inside our xhtml. May misunderstand tho...

Eric Pugh, I made a few modifications. The biggest was parsing hocr and passing on the relevant elements to Tika's xhtml handler. The rest was in great shape.

Once I hear back that this will work for your use case with my mods, I'll resolve this ticket.

Thank you for the PR!

Thanks for this, and the addition of the HOCRPassthroughHandler, I'll give it a test today, however I suspect this is exactly what I need.

BTW, just got to updating my project with the latest 1.14-SNAPSHOT, and the hOCR process is working great. Thanks for getting this patch in.

Not sure who marks things "Resolved", but from my perspective, it's Resolved.

W00t! Thank you, again, for the PR!
