bug#38153: 26.3; nxml with ENTITY: single quote misinterpreted as string delimiter

[Jay Berkenbilt]

Create a file with the name "a.xml" and the following contents (between
the rows of dashes):

-------
<?xml version="1.0"?>
<!DOCTYPE anything [
<!ENTITY any "&#x03C0;">
]>
<anything>
  This is a quote, but it's not starting a string.
</anything>
-------

Observe that everything after the "'" is treated syntactically as a
string. This shows with the fontification of the following text, but it
also effects the behavior. For example, if you type <x> after the word
"quote" and then hit C-c C-f, the closing tag </x> is inserted as
expected. However, if you type <x> after the word "not", C-c C-f
erroneously attempts to close the <anything> tag.

If you remove the <!ENTITY ...> line, the problem goes away.

This behavior is observable with emacs -Q running in Ubuntu 19.10. It
did not occur with Ubuntu 19.04.
