[PR #11959/d87a8a16 backport][stable-12] xml: fail for non-string values (#12001)

xml: fail for non-string `value`s (#11959)

* fix(xml): coerce boolean values to string with a warning

Fixes #7171



* test(xml): add integration tests for boolean value handling



* changelog: add fragment for PR 11959



* adjustments from review

* test(xml): update boolean-value integration tests to expect failure

Now that xml fails on non-string values, replace the old success-path
tests with failure assertions and add a positive test for quoted strings.
Remove the no-longer-needed result XML fixtures.



* adjustments from review

* fix(xml): correct boolean test assertions to match actual error message format
