Alvaro Herrera e474c2b7e4 Set correct context for XPath evaluation
According to the SQL standard, the context of XMLTABLE's XPath
row_expression is the document node of the XML input document, not the
root node.  This becomes visible when a relative path rather than
absolute is used as row expression.  Absolute paths is what was used in
original tests and docs (and the most common form used in examples
throughout the interwebs), which explains why this wasn't noticed
before.

Other functions such as xpath() and xpath_exists() also have this
problem.  While not specified by the SQL standard, it would be pretty
odd to leave those functions to behave differently than XMLTABLE, so
change them too.  However, this is a backwards-incompatible change.

No backpatch, out of fear of breaking code depending on the original
broken behavior.

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/.
