Get XPATH of a specified node in JavaScript

Reported by suguru.i...@gmail.com, May 10 2018 
UserAgent: Mozilla/5.0 (Macintosh; Intel Mac OS X 10_12_6) AppleWebKit/537.36 (KHTML, like Gecko) Chrome/66.0.3359.139 Safari/537.36

Steps to reproduce the problem:
In DevTool, I can get an XPATH of a node only in DevTools GUI.

What is the expected behavior?

What went wrong?
I want to get it in JavaScript (with Puppeteer) in order to serialize specified node's location as a string. 

Is there an API for that?

Did this work before? N/A 

Chrome version: 66.0.3359.139  Channel: stable
OS Version: OS X 10.12.6

You can generate node selector similarly to how we do it in devtools front-end. In general, having a "node" in hands, you can generate its selector from-inside the page using `Runtime.evaluate`. (or page.evaluate, from pptr standpoint)

Feel free to jump to pptr bugtracker with this question if there's some confusion left.
