python: Fix of CVE-2026-7210
- CVE-2026-7210: when hash randomization is enabled, seed libexpat's hash-flooding protection in pyexpat with a full 16 bytes of entropy via XML_SetHashSalt16Bytes, detected at runtime through a weak symbol so it activates once the system libexpat exposes it, instead of the 4-8 byte XML_SetHashSalt
