RFR 8009581: Xpathexception does not honor initcause()

[Aleksej Efimov]

Joe,
I'll move the tests to jdk/test/javax/xml/jaxp/XPath/ 8009579 in next 
version of webrev for JDK8. For JDK7 the tests will be in the same 
folder after Daniel's change.
Correct, I'm using the backport ID only for review in this alias, for 
commits and test header will use the main bug ID. Thanks for bringing 
this to my attention.
