Summary: SFCB - Escaped XML sequences in embedded instances

Initial Comment:
Some CIM clients, the pywbem python client being one of them, seem to use escaped XML sequences to represent embedded objects/instances in a request. SFCB doesnt know how to handle this and generates an error. The SFCB CIM-XML parser should be able to handle escaped XML sequences of the following type, to support such clients.

<PROPERTY EmbeddedObject="instance" NAME="testobject" TYPE="string" >
  <VALUE>
    &lt;INSTANCE CLASSNAME="CIM_RegisteredProfile"&gt;
      &lt;PROPERTY NAME="InstanceID" TYPE="string"&gt;
        &lt;VALUE&gt;test reg profile&lt;/VALUE&gt;
      &lt;/PROPERTY&gt;
    &lt;/INSTANCE&gt;
  </VALUE>
</PROPERTY>

The code that intends to do this was committed via bug 1638073
http://sourceforge.net/tracker/?func=detail&aid=1638073&group_id=128809&atid=712784

I'm not yet sure if it has since been broken or if there was a problem
with it to begin with. Currently it's not called until after it would have
already failed the parser.
