[PATCH 10/43] util: xml: Extract XPath evaluation for strings

Extract the internals of virXPathString which evaluate the XPath and
validate that the returned object is a string into a new helper named
'virXPathEvalString'.

The function will be later reused in the number XPath evaluation
functions.
