Make the XML entity recursion check more precise.

libxml doesn't detect entity recursion specifically but has a variety
of related checks, such as entities not expanding too deeply or
producing exponential blow-ups in content.

Because entity declarations are parsed in a separate context with
their own element recursion budget, a recursive entity can overflow
the stack using a lot of open elements (but within the per-context
limit) as it slowly consumes (but does not exhaust) the entity depth
budget.

This adds a specific, precise check for recursive entities that
detects entity recursion specifically and fails immediately.

The existing entity expansion depth checks are still relevant for long
chains of different entities.
