    Patch for security issue 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.

    To build on an Unixised setup:
       ./configure ; make ; make install
       if the ./configure file does not exist, run ./autogen.sh instead.
    To build on Windows:
       see instructions on win32/Readme.txt
    
    To assert build quality:
       on an Unixised setup:
          run make tests
       otherwise:
           There is 3 standalone tools runtest.c runsuite.c testapi.c, which
           should compile as part of the build or as any application would.
           Launch them from this directory to get results, runtest checks 
           the proper functioning of libxml2 main APIs while testapi does
           a full coverage check. Report failures to the list.
