asXMLNode: Converts non-XML node objects to XMLTextNode objects

Description

This function is used to convert S objects that are not already XMLNode objects into objects of that class. Specifically, it treats the object as a string and creates an XMLTextNode object.

Also, there is a method for converting an XMLInternalNode - the C-level libxml representation of a node - to an explicit R-only object which contains the R values of the data in the internal node.
