    textproc/libxml2: add upstream fix for CVE-2021-3541
    
    This is relapted to parameter entities expansion and following
    the line of the billion laugh attack. Somehow in that path the
    counting of parameters was missed and the normal algorithm based
    on entities "density" was useless.
