Add support for passing an XML namespace map through requests_xml

[dt-iland]

requests_xml seems to return XML with namespaces without issue. However, unless I've missed something, it doesn't appear there is a way to pass a XML NSMAP variable through requests_xml so that you can easily access XML with namespaces using XPATH.

For the instances where I'm forced to use XML namespaces, I've had to revert back to using lxml/etree. Would be be possible to add the NSMAP functionality to the top level requests_xml functions so that the XML namespace mapping is properly passed down to the lxml functions used under-the-hood?

Got it, it's something I overlooked when first writing it. I'll work on it this weekend!

That's awesome! I'll be able to solely use requests_xml in my code once you add support for that. You might want to check function definition, I believe there might be other arguments other than NSMAP that might be worth adding support for.

Also, I just wanted to say, thanks so much for putting this library together. It's made working with a XML REST API server incredibly simple!
