Bug description:  Docu for xmlrpc_set_type: a few hints

Description:
------------
"Sets xmlrpc type, base64 or datetime, for a PHP string value" is fine,
but a couple more details would be better off in the official docs than in
the comments:

+ only valid values for $type are 'datetime' and 'base64'

+ when setting type to base64, the encoding process is carried out by the
function, the user does not need to do the base64 encoding on its own

+ the type-setting process changes the string variable upon which it acts,
converting it in fact (when successful) in an anonymous object

+ if conversion process fails, the function returns false, so it is easy
to check if it worked before calling xmlrpc_encode() on the data
