textproc/libxml2: update to 2.15.4 (#836)
Update libxml2 from 2.15.3 to 2.15.4, a security release.
## Security fixes (upstream NEWS)
- xmlregexp: out-of-bounds read in the `NXT` macro
- missing overflow checks in `dict.c`, `uri.c` and `valid.c`
- xmlregexp: string length calculated before NULL check
- xpointer: overflow in `xmlXPtrEvalXPtrPart`
- xmlIO: integer overflow before calling `writecallback`
- xinclude: `parseFlags` not propagated in
`xmlXIncludeProcess`/`xmlXIncludeProcessTree`
Also fixes a double free in `xmlIOParseDTD`, a division by zero when
`maxAmpl` is 0, a NULL deref in catalog handling, and several memory
leaks.
## Port changes
- `textproc/libxml2/Makefile` — `DISTVERSION` 2.15.3 → 2.15.4
- `textproc/libxml2/distinfo` — regenerated with `bmake makesum`
- `textproc/libxml2/pkg-plist` — `lib/libxml2.so.16.1.3` →
`lib/libxml2.so.16.1.4`
- `textproc/libxml2-python/Makefile` — reset `PORTREVISION`
The SONAME stays `libxml2.so.16`, so no dependent ports need a
`PORTREVISION` bump.
## Validation (amd64)
- `bmake makesum`, `patch`, `build`, `fake`, `package` — all succeed for
both the master port and the `libxml2-python` slave
- `bmake test` — exits 0 (the `fail` strings in the log are expected
offline DTD-load warnings from the thread tests)
- `portlint -AC` — only the pre-existing master/slave-port `?=` warnings

## Summary by Sourcery
Update libxml2 and its Python slave port to the 2.15.4 security release.
Bug Fixes:
- Update libxml2 to the 2.15.4 security release, incorporating upstream
fixes for multiple memory-safety, overflow, NULL-dereference, and
resource-management issues.
Chores:
- Refresh package metadata for the new libxml2 release and reset the
Python slave port revision while retaining the existing SONAME.
