Log message:
add patches from upstream to fix possible crashes and memory corruption
on malformed input (CVE-2016-0718)
Description: The Expat XML parser mishandles certain kinds of malformed
input documents, resulting in buffer overflows during processing and
error reporting. The overflows can manifest as a segmentation fault or
as memory corruption during a parse operation. The bugs allow for a
denial of service attack in many applications by an unauthenticated
attacker, and could conceivably result in remote code execution.
bump PKGREV
also add an improvement to the fix for CVE-2015-1283 which was part
of the 2.1.1 release -- don't rely on defined behaviour on overflows
of signed integer operations, from upstream git:

pkgsrc change: add a hint how to run the pkg's selftest (not enabled
permanently because this would add a dependency on C++)
