bpo-30264: ExpatParser closes the source on error (#1451)

ExpatParser.parse() of xml.sax.xmlreader now always closes the
source: close the file object or the urllib object if source is a
string (not an open file-like object). The change fixes a
ResourceWarning on parsing error.

Add test_parse_close_source() unit test.
