This is a preserved training example. Membership in the current training wave has not been verified.

Problem statement

Release 0.6.8 xpath filter incompatible with previous releases
The following code used to work in 0.6.7 and earlier,

```
from ncclient import manager

path = '/a/b/c'

with manager.connect(...) as m:
    reply = m.get('xpath', path)
```
Now this code throws an error
```
  File "test-netconf.py", line 7, in <module>
    reply = m.get(filter=('xpath', path))
  File "/usr/local/lib/python3.8/site-packages/ncclient/manager.py", line 226, in execute
    return cls(self._session,
  File "/usr/local/lib/python3.8/site-packages/ncclient/operations/retrieve.py", line 83, in request
    node.append(util.build_filter(filter))
  File "/usr/local/lib/python3.8/site-packages/ncclient/operations/util.py", line 53, in build_filter
    ns, select = criteria
ValueError: too many values to unpack (expected 2)
```

The path parameter in 0.6.7 used to be a string, even the current document still so specifies. But in the unit test and the code the path is expected as a tuple.

Please consider making this backward compatible, and announce such major changes before releasing it.
