XPath: Optimize constant filters/predicates
If a filter/predicate expression is a constant, we don't need to evaluate it for every nodeset element - we can evaluate it once and pick the right element or keep/discard the entire collection. If the expression is 1, we can early out on first node when evaluating the node set - queries like following::item[1] are now significantly faster. Additionally this change refactors filters/predicates to have additional metadata describing the expression type in _test field that is filled during optimization. Note that predicate_constant selection right now is very simple (but captures most common use cases except for maybe [last()]).
