Allow controlling Expat >=2.6.0 reparse deferral (CVE-2023-52425) by adding five new methods:

  • xml.etree.ElementTree.XMLParser.flush
  • xml.etree.ElementTree.XMLPullParser.flush
  • xml.parsers.expat.xmlparser.GetReparseDeferralEnabled
  • xml.parsers.expat.xmlparser.SetReparseDeferralEnabled
  • xml.sax.expatreader.ExpatParser.flush

Based on the "flush" idea from #115138 (comment) .

Includes code suggested-by: Snild Dolkow snild@sony.com
and by core dev Serhiy Storchaka.

(cherry picked from commit 6a95676)
