[New-bugs-announce] [issue45570] Simplify setup macros for pyexpat and _elementtree

[Christian Heimes]

New submission from Christian Heimes <lists at cheimes.de>:

setup.py and Modules/Setup define a couple of macros for pyexpat and _elementtree. The macros are no longer needed or should be moved to our expat_config.h copy.

* HAVE_EXPAT_CONFIG_H is not used by our code and not used by system-wide expat header files
* USE_PYEXPAT_CAPI is no longer used by our code
* XML_POOR_ENTROPY should be defined in expat_config.h
