When a value contained an XML declaration naming some other encoding,
this function interpreted UTF8 bytes as the named encoding, yielding
mojibake.  xml_parse() already has similar logic.  This would be
necessary but not sufficient for non-UTF8 databases, so preserve
behavior there until the xpath facility can support such databases
comprehensively.  Back-patch to 9.3 (all supported versions).
