This update fixes bugs and security issues:
Update vendorized expat library version to 2.2.8.
Disallow URL paths with embedded whitespace or control characters into the
underlying http client request. Such potentially malicious header injection
URLs now cause an httplib.InvalidURL exception to be raised.
Avoid file reading by disallowing ``local-file:`` and ``local_file:``
URL schemes in :func:`urllib.urlopen`, :meth:`urllib.URLopener.open` and
:meth:`urllib.URLopener.retrieve`.
