Prevent "billion laughs" attack against expat:
* xml/apr_xml.c (entity_declaration, default_handler): Add new handlers
for expat 2.x and 1.x respectively.
(apr_xml_parser_create): Install handler to prevent expansion of
internal entities with expat 1.x, and to fail on an entity
declaration with expat 2.x.
* test/testxml.c (create_dummy_file, dump_xml): Test that predefined
entities are expanded.
(test_billion_laughs): New test case.
