[phpxmlrpc] entity changes

[Andres Salomon]

There's a function in xmlrpc.inc called xmlrpc_html_entity_xlate(). 
htmlentities should still be called, and the data returned from that
should be run through xmlrpc_html_entity_xlate().  This will convert
from your standard xhtml entites (É) to numerical entities
(É).
