HtmlUnit - XPath

This is the code repository of the XPath support used by HtmlUnit.

HtmlUnit used Apache Xalan (https://xalan.apache.org/) for a long time. But the development of Xalan was discontinued in 2019. Since HtmlUnit only uses XPath functionality, we decided to create a fork and remove all things that are no longer needed. In addition, we made some code updates for JDK 8 and we added unit tests and the maven-based build.
