Make xpath() do something useful with XPath expressions that return scalars.
Previously, xpath() simply returned an empty array if the expression did not yield a node set. This is useless for expressions that return scalars, such as one with name() at the top level. Arrange to return the scalar value as a single-element xml array, instead. (String values will be suitably escaped.) This change will also cause xpath_exists() to return true, not false, for such expressions. Florian Pflug, reviewed by Radoslaw Smogura
