[Bug 1534858] [NEW] TAGFILES broken in current Ubuntu Xenial (fixed in >=1.8.10)

[Jose Luis Rivero]

Public bug reported:

The version present in Ubuntu Xenial (1.8.9.1) has a severe bug for
those of us using tagfiles.

Using a tagfile generated for another project some symbols from the current project are not being extracted anymore.
 - Upstream bug and full description in: https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=744762

To get a fix into the current development in Ubuntu Xenial I see two
options:

1. Cherry pick the patch from the doxygen repository to our current 1.8.9.1 version
2. Sync the latest version (1.8.11) present in Debian experimental

I have time to work on 1 if we want to go with this option or if some work needs to be to port the option 2.
Thanks.
