Upgrade expat copy from 2.2.0 to 2.2.1 to get fixes of multiple security
vulnerabilities including: :cve:`2017-9233` (External entity infinite loop
DoS), :cve:`2016-9063` (Integer overflow, re-fix), :cve:`2016-0718` (Fix
regression bugs from 2.2.0's fix to :cve:`2016-0718`) and :cve:`2012-0876`
(Counter hash flooding with SipHash). Note: the :cve:`2016-5300` (Use
os-specific entropy sources like getrandom) doesn't impact Python, since
Python already gets entropy from the OS to set the expat secret using
``XML_SetHashSalt()``.

Fix urllib.parse.splithost() to correctly parse fragments. For example,
``splithost('//127.0.0.1#@evil.com/')`` now correctly returns the
``127.0.0.1`` host, instead of treating ``@evil.com`` as the host in an
authentication (``login@host``).
