Log: XML: Added a note that string sources are not modified.
Update issue 1690
Summary: XML library: Document that sources given as strings are not
modified in place
Status: Done
Owner: pekka.klarck
Labels: Priority-Low
The same text about modifying the source was in all keywords that
modify XML. Added a note that strings themselves are not modified to
`Get Element` keyword that those keywords use internally and link from
their docs.

`Parse XML` is recommended for parsing XML when the whole structure
is needed. It must be used if there is a need to configure how XML
namespaces are handled.
+
+ Many other keywords use this keyword internally, and keywords
modifying
+ XML are typically documented to both to modify the given source and
+ to return it. Modifying the source does not apply if the source is
+ given as a string. The XML structure parsed based on the string and
