Description:
------------
bug appears in versions:
7.0.5 and later

description:
Parsing XML string returns inconsistent values. When parsing single XML element with new lines (unix (\n) or win(\r\n)) resulting element will be array. When new line tags are removed element turns into object value.

Test script:

Expected result:
----------------
Consistent result of parsing element as object value, or as array

Actual result:
--------------

Confirmed: <https://3v4l.org/GGGnX>.

The problem is that the whitespaces are parsed as text nodes, and
SimpleXML has known issues with mixed content, especially
regarding debug output (such as var_dump()).
