    py-lxml: update to 4.0.0

    4.0.0:

    Features added
    --------------
    * The ElementPath implementation is now compiled using Cython,
      which speeds up the ``.find*()`` methods quite significantly.

    * The modules ``lxml.builder``, ``lxml.html.diff`` and ``lxml.html.clean``
      are also compiled using Cython in order to speed them up.

    * ``xmlfile()`` supports async coroutines using ``async with`` and ``await``.

    * ``iterwalk()`` has a new method ``skip_subtree()`` that prevents walking into
      the descendants of the current element.

    * ``RelaxNG.from_rnc_string()`` accepts a ``base_url`` argument to
      allow relative resource lookups.

    * The XSLT result object has a new method ``.write_output(file)`` that serialises
      output data into a file according to the ``<xsl:output>`` configuration.

    Bugs fixed
    ----------
    * GH-251: HTML comments were handled incorrectly by the soupparser.
      Patch by mozbugbox.

    * LP-1654544: The html5parser no longer passes the ``useChardet`` option
      if the input is a Unicode string, unless explicitly requested.  When parsing
      files, the default is to enable it when a URL or file path is passed (because
      the file is then opened in binary mode), and to disable it when reading from
      a file(-like) object.

      Note: This is a backwards incompatible change of the default configuration.
      If your code parses byte strings/streams and depends on character detection,
      please pass the option ``guess_charset=True`` explicitly, which already worked
      in older lxml versions.

    * LP-1703810: ``etree.fromstring()`` failed to parse UTF-32 data with BOM.

    * LP-1526522: Some RelaxNG errors were not reported in the error log.

    * LP-1567526: Empty and plain text input raised a TypeError in soupparser.

    * LP-1710429: Uninitialised variable usage in HTML diff.

    * LP-1415643: The closing tags context manager in ``xmlfile()`` could continue
      to output end tags even after writing failed with an exception.

    * LP-1465357: ``xmlfile.write()`` now accepts and ignores None as input argument.

    * Compilation under Py3.7-pre failed due to a modified function signature.

    Other changes
    -------------
    * The main module source files were renamed from ``lxml.*.pyx`` to plain
      ``*.pyx`` (e.g. ``etree.pyx``) to simplify their handling in the build
      process.  Care was taken to keep the old header files as fallbacks for
      code that compiles against the public C-API of lxml, but it might still
      be worth validating that third-party code does not notice this change.
