[Mediawiki-api] [Mediawiki-api-announce] API XML output now has a namespace

Per https://bugzilla.wikimedia.org/show_bug.cgi?id=24781 , the XML
output returned by the API has a namespace since 1.18.

1.17: <api>
1.18: <api xmlns="http://www.mediawiki.org/xml/api/">

Apparently this breaks for some people using XPATH expressions,
although comments on Bugzilla indicated this shouldn't be the case,
and since I don't know anything about XML namespaces I trusted my
fellow MW devs who said it wouldn't be a problem :)
