Subject: [PATCH] [3.8] gh-117187: Fix XML tests for vanilla Expat <2.6.0
 (GH-117203) (#117248)

This fixes XML unittest fallout from the https://github.com/python/cpython/issues/115398 security fix.  When configured using `--with-system-expat` on systems with older pre 2.6.0 versions of libexpat, our unittests were failing.

(cherry picked from commit 9f74e86c78853c101a23e938f8e32ea838d8f62e)
