This tries to fix the long-standing defects in ConstructingParser that were shown to cause out of memory exceptions. The original tests contributed by Artem Stasiuk in #32 presumed fixing the methods would make them throw exceptions. I made a more minimal fix: I followed the suggestions of A.P. Marki that not every syntax error is fatal, and that it is better to address the infinite loops in various method than actually terminate processing with an exception. Admittedly, this code is pretty inconsistent with respect to termination. I suggest we take that on later.

To be honest, making further improvements would have consequences in the behavior of XMLEventReader. I decided to not go there. There is a plan to drop XMLEventReader in #200. Given, my most recent experience here, I'd say that's still a good idea.

Shorten test names and minimize string literals.
Add eof checks to:

- MarkupParser.xEntityValue
- MarkupParser.xComment
- MarkupParser.systemLiteral
- MarkupParser.pubidLiteral
- MarkupParser.notationDecl
- MarkupParserCommon.xAttributeValue
- MarkupParserCommon.xTakeUntil
