[Buildroot] [git commit] package/expat: security bump to version 2.6.0

commit: https://git.buildroot.net/buildroot/commit/?id=9dad5e7d7f7bc03e648621b9be6974e7ae39a467
branch: https://git.buildroot.net/buildroot/commit/?id=refs/heads/master

Security fixes:
 - CVE-2023-52425: Fix quadratic runtime issues with big tokens that can
   cause denial of service, in partial where dealing with compressed XML
   input. Applications that parsed a document in one go -- a single call
   to functions XML_Parse or XML_ParseBuffer -- were not affected. The
   smaller the chunks/buffers you use for parsing previously, the bigger
   the problem prior to the fix.
 - CVE-2023-52426: Fix billion laughs attacks for users compiling
   *without* XML_DTD defined (which is not common). Users with XML_DTD
   defined have been protected since Expat >=2.4.0 (and that was
   CVE-2013-0340 back then).
