Bug#18170: XML: ExtractValue(): XPath expression can't use QNames (colon in names)

Problem source:
Qualified names (aka QName) didn't work as tag names and attribute names,
because the parser lacked a real rule to scan QName, so it understood
only non-qualified names without prefixes.

Solution:
New rule was added to check both "ident" and "ident:ident" sequences.
