This patch applies the upstream fix shown in [1] as referenced by [3].
The prerequisite in [2] provides XML_INDEX_MAX for the Scarthgap Expat
2.6.4 backport.

+Subject: [PATCH 08/17] lib: Make `XML_Index` overflow check more intuitive
+
+In fixing a bug, 7e5b71b748491b6e459e5c9a1d090820f94544d8 introduced a magic 
number `2` in this code that made it difficult to understand the rationale for 
this overflow check without reading the commit log. This change introduces some 
more readable constants to use in these situations.

+Backport Changes:
+- Adapt include context for Scarthgap 2.6.4 and expose SIZE_MAX in
+  the existing stdint.h comment.
