WXR importing does not treat change of post_parent

Description

Importing of WordPress eXtended RSS (WXR) newly assigns ID to each posts, instead it takes over old ID from exporting. Because the post_parent column of post is not correctly changed to the new ID, this causes break of parent-child relationship between posts. All pages which has parent page and all attachments can be orphaned.

I wrote a patch for this. Which does two things,

1) If importing post has post_parent and the parent post is not processed yet, process the parent first.
2) Remember old and new ID of post, and rewrite each post_parent old to new.

+1.

Coincidentally, I just encountered this while migrating my WordPress blog to a WordPress MU blog, and realising the page tree hadn't been saved.

I created another fix, not knowing this one was here, that has less code changes. It may or may not be as effective. [3840]
