Introduces a Jaxen-based XPath engine for querying Tapestry's DOM tree. New API: - `XPath` (org.apache.tapestry5.dom.xpath): factory-style entry point for compiling and executing XPath expressions against a Document or Node context - `BoundXPath` (org.apache.tapestry5.dom): fluent wrapper returned by Node#xpath(String) that binds an expression to a context node, avoiding repetition of the context in chained calls - `DocumentNavigator`: Jaxen Navigator implementation that adapts Tapestry's DOM node types (Element, Text, CData, Comment, Raw) to the Jaxen model - `NodeVisitor`: new visitor interface used internally by DocumentNavigator - `XPathException`: unchecked exception wrapping Jaxen errors Existing DOM classes were extended to support the navigator and expose the new xpath(String) entry point.

Adds XPath support to tapestry-core DOM nodes.
It's based on Jaxen 2, and provides either using it similar to tapestr-xpath, by providing the Nodes to an XPath, but also creating an already BoundXPath from a DOM node.
