bpo-46811: Make test suite support Expat >=2.4.5 (pythonGH-31453)

Curly brackets were never allowed in namespace URIs according to RFC 3986, and so-called namespace-validating XML parsers have the right to reject them a invalid URIs. libexpat >=2.4.5 has become strcter in that regard due to related security issues; with ET.XML instantiating a namespace-aware parser under the hood, this test has no future in CPython. References: - https://datatracker.ietf.org/doc/html/rfc3968 - https://www.w3.org/TR/xml-names/ Also, test_minidom.py: Support Expat >=2.4.5
