    Avoid failure when selecting a namespace node in XMLTABLE. · 592a1632
    Tom Lane authored
    It appears that libxml2 doesn't bother to set the "children" field of
    an XML_NAMESPACE_DECL node to null; that field just contains garbage.
    In v10 and v11, this can result in a crash in XMLTABLE().  The rewrite
    done in commit 251cf2e2 fixed this, somewhat accidentally, in v12.
    We're not going to back-patch 251cf2e2, however.  The case apparently
    doesn't have wide use, so rather than risk introducing other problems,
    just add a safety check to throw an error.
    
    Even though no bug manifests in v12/HEAD, add the relevant test case
    there too, to prevent future regressions.
