vtkXMLDataParser broken by expat

Description:

As discussed here:

https://discourse.paraview.org/t/i-cannot-read-a-vtp-file-i-could-open-yesterday-can-someone-try-to-open-it/13938/8

the arch paraview package, and actually the VTK package as well, are broken. The problem happens while reading VTK files:

( 279.351s) [paraview        ]       vtkXMLParser.cxx:375    ERR| vtkXMLDataParser (0x594128ee3790): Error parsing XML in stream at line 44, column 89, byte index 3064: not well-formed (invalid token)
( 279.351s) [paraview        ]       vtkXMLReader.cxx:520    ERR| vtkXMLPolyDataReader (0x594128c28ba0): Error parsing input file.  ReadXMLInformation aborting.

Additional info:

Steps to reproduce:

  1. Download the vtp file from the discussion: https://discourse.paraview.org/uploads/short-url/mmC8dLkm86pEai3nsLYNQcRDyLX.vtp
  2. Launch paraview
  3. Try to open the file

Some other simple files are failing as well, e.g. https://gitlab.com/sanguinariojoe/aquagpusph/-/raw/dev/tests/2D/SaveVTK/cMake/ref.vtu?ref_type=heads&inline=false
