[FIX] ir.ui.view: `locate_node` of a ns prefixed element
According to [1], "If your XPath expression uses namespace prefixes, you must define them in a prefix mapping.". It makes sense because an xpath to a prefixed tag is not able to uniquely locate the tag in the parent view (it is possible to redefine the ns definition of a prefix, so you could have multiple elements matching). We chose to define the nsmap to locate the element in the parent view by using the lxml internal form to qualify a node ({ns def}tagname). This form is not compatible with etree.xpath but is with etree.ETXPath. Fortunately, etree.ETXPath is compatible with the classic xpath expressions so we'll use this one by default in `locate_node`. A test has been introduced to showcase the problem. http://lxml.de/xpathxslt.html#namespaces-and-prefixes: Namespaces and prefixes
