the XmlExpr code in various lists, use a representation that has some hope
of reverse-listing correctly (though it's still a de-escaping function

with main, avoid using a SQL-defined SQLSTATE for what is most definitely

SGML markup, add a "deprecated features" section to the 8.0 release
notes, untabify release.sgml and runtime.sgml, and make some other
minor improvements.

This commit includes regression tests and minimal documentation; if we
want developers to actually use this function in applications, we'll
probably need to document what it does more fully.

this input will be rejected.
Also added a new error code for warnings about deprecated features,
and updated the regression tests.
