Alvaro Herrera 251cf2e27b Fix minor deficiencies in XMLTABLE, xpath(), xmlexists()
Correctly process nodes of more types than previously.  In some cases,
nodes were being ignored (nothing was output); in other cases, trying to
return them resulted in errors about unrecognized nodes.  In yet other
cases, necessary escaping (of XML special characters) was not being
done.  Fix all those (as far as the authors could find) and add
regression tests cases verifying the new behavior.

I (Álvaro) was of two minds about backpatching these changes.  They do
seem bugfixes that would benefit most users of the affected functions;
but on the other hand it would change established behavior in minor
releases, so it seems prudent not to.

The elephant in the room as pointed out by Chapman Flack, not fixed in
this commit, is that we still have XMLTABLE operating on XPath 1.0
instead of the standard-mandated XQuery (or even its subset XPath 2.0).
Fixing that is a major undertaking, however.

PostgreSQL Database Management System
=====================================

This directory contains the source code distribution of the PostgreSQL
database management system.

PostgreSQL is an advanced object-relational database management system
that supports an extended subset of the SQL standard, including
transactions, foreign keys, subqueries, triggers, user-defined types
and functions.  This distribution also contains C language bindings.

PostgreSQL has many language interfaces, many of which are listed here:

	https://www.postgresql.org/download

See the file INSTALL for instructions on how to build and install
PostgreSQL.  That file also lists supported operating systems and
hardware platforms and contains information regarding any other
software packages that are required to build or run the PostgreSQL
system.  Copyright and license information can be found in the
file COPYRIGHT.  A comprehensive documentation set is included in this
distribution; it can be read as described in the installation
instructions.

The latest version of this software may be obtained at
https://www.postgresql.org/download/.  For more information look at our
web site located at https://www.postgresql.org/.
