Build stanzas from raw XML strings

[erszcz]

This allows for convenient creation of custom stanzas inline in test suites instead of laboriously writing functional constructors and placing them in escalus_stanza.
Please note this might not be the fastest, performance-wise, approach to getting an xmlterm() so watch out for CPU churn in high-load scenarios (AMOC comes to mind).

I have a suggestion to allow a reverse operation: matching XML by
template. Something like
Element = #xmlel{name= <<"outer">>, children=Inner}.
{matched, [{inner, Inner}]} =
M:match_template("{{{inner}}}", Element).

I'm not sure I see a use case which couldn't be satisfied with exml_query. It's worth exploring, but probably as a separate issue.

You are right. But, this matching syntax allows to match on a difficult XML stanza and more declarative.
