[MOX-005] #30 Use high quality entropy for hash initialization:
* arc4random_buf on BSD, systems with libbsd
(when configured with --with-libbsd), CloudABI
* RtlGenRandom on Windows XP / Server 2003 and later

Bug fixes:
#32 Fix sharing of hash salt across parsers;
relevant where XML_ExternalEntityParserCreate is called
prior to XML_Parse, in particular (e.g. FBReader)
#28 xmlwf: Auto-disable use of memory-mapping (and parsing
as a single chunk) for files larger than ~1 GB (2^30 bytes)
rather than failing with error "out of memory"
#3 Fix double free after malloc failure in DTD code; commit
7ae9c3d3af433cd4defe95234eae7dc8ed15637f
#17 Fix memory leak on parser error for unbound XML attribute
prefix with new namespaces defined in the same tag;
found by Google's OSS-Fuzz; commits
* 16f87daae5a16132e479e4f71862128c7a915c73
* b47dbc9745932c160893d433220e462bd605f8cd
xmlwf on Windows: Add missing calls to CloseHandle

New features:
#30 Introduced environment switch EXPAT_ENTROPY_DEBUG=1
for runtime debugging of entropy extraction

Other changes:
Increase code coverage
#33 Reject use of XML_UNICODE_WCHAR_T with sizeof(wchar_t) != 2;
XML_UNICODE_WCHAR_T was never meant to be used outside
of Windows; 4-byte wchar_t is common on Linux
(SF.net) #538 Start using -fno-strict-aliasing
(SF.net) #540 Support compilation against cloudlibc of CloudABI
Allow MinGW cross-compilation
(SF.net) #534 CMake: Introduce option "BUILD_doc" (enabled by default)
to bypass compilation of the xmlwf.1 man page
(SF.net) pr2 CMake: Introduce option "INSTALL" (enabled by default)
to bypass installation of expat files
CMake: Fix ninja support
Autotools: Add parameters --enable-xml-context [COUNT]
and --disable-xml-context; default of context of 1024
bytes enabled unchanged
#14 Drop AmigaOS 4.x code and includes
#14 Drop ancient build systems:
* Borland C++ Builder
* OpenVMS
* Open Watcom
* Visual Studio 6.0
* Pre-X Mac OS (MPW Makefile)
If you happen to rely on some of these, please get in
touch for joining with maintenance.
#10 Move from WIN32 to _WIN32
#13 Fix "make run-xmltest" order instability
Address compile warnings
Bump version info from 7:2:6 to 7:3:6
Add AUTHORS file

Infrastructure:
#1 Migrate from SourceForge to GitHub (except downloads):
https://github.com/libexpat/
