Code Review

This pull request adds the new Bazel module xml_tools at version 0.1.1 to the Bazel Central Registry. The changes appear to be in good order and follow the BCR contribution guidelines. All required files are present, and the presubmit configuration correctly uses a test module.

As per the repository style guide, since this is a new module submission, the new maintainers and repository fields in modules/xml_tools/metadata.json require a manual review. I am therefore requesting a review from @bazelbuild/bcr-maintainers.

At first I didn't realize that this is an XML parser written in Starlark - what a feat! Since the BCR contains modules from many language ecosystems (Bazel rules, C++ projects, ...), xml_tools is probably not the most descriptive name. What do you think of alternatives like xml.bzl(with a top-level xml.bzl file exporting the xml symbol, starlark-xml`, etc.?

Thanks! I'm actually planning to use this to allow the rules_dotnet codebase to parse csproj/fsproj files and auto-generate appropriate targets for them. (see: bazel-contrib/rules_dotnet#528)

Aah, good idea. I'll rename it to xml.bzl. I hadn't seen that pattern until I saw bazelrc-presets.bzl, so it's not my go-to yet lol

Alright, I've created #7385 which renames this to xml.bzl
