Avoid failure when selecting a namespace node in XMLTABLE.
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 251cf2e27 fixed this, somewhat accidentally, in v12.
We're not going to back-patch 251cf2e27, 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.
