[PATCH 1/2] Fix libxml string leak in contrib/xml2 xpath_list

xmlXPathCastNodeToString() returns a libxml-allocated xmlChar *, but
pgxmlNodeSetToText() passed it directly to xmlBufferWriteCHAR() in the
plain separator path.  Since xmlBufferWriteCHAR() copies the string
rather than taking ownership, successful xpath_list() calls leaked one
string per emitted node.

Store the cast result locally and free it with xmlFree() after writing it
to the buffer.
