    Summary: xml package does not obey ignore_environment

    Details: On two occasions, the xml package uses environment variables to override parser / DOM implementations: ``xml.sax package`` and ``xml.dom.domreg`` module. On both occasions, the code should not use env vars to override module names, when the interpreter is started with flags like ``-E`` or ``-I``.
