Add support for XPath locator strategy about winium.mobile HOT 5 OPEN

Second option needs more investigation. At least three ways to implement on the fly XPath-able collection are available:

1. Subclassing XmlReader
2. Implementing IXPathNavigable interface and providing custom XPathNavigator.
3. Using XStreamingElement and Linq

Need to understand limitations and benefits of each one.

XPathNavigator seems to be a way to go. See Using XPath to Navigate the File System for reference on XPathNavigator implementation.

Implementing XPathNavigator is easy and allows to access elements only when needed, but XPathNavigator is not supported by Store Apps framework, rendering it unsuable both for current StoreApps driver and CodedUI prototype (but it can be used for desktop).

Successfully used for desktop, thanks for research

Somebody packed System.Xml.XPath for Silverlight apps, see package here https://www.nuget.org/packages/System.Xml.XPath.SL4/

We should try it out

Hi @NickAb .
I will see to implement by suggested way in "How to add support for element attributes other than ClassName, Name, AutomationId? #19 " or else I will have to wait for Xpath strategy to be implemented in Winium.StoreApps for some of the scenarios containing element retrieval based on SIBLING relationship.
Thanks a lot.
