Subject: [PATCH 24/24] gh-135462: Fix quadratic complexity in processing
special input in HTMLParser (GH-135464)

End-of-file errors are now handled according to the HTML5 specs --
comments and declarations are automatically closed, tags are ignored.
(cherry picked from commit 6eb6c5dbfb528bd07d77b60fd71fd05d81d45c41)
