Bumps parsel from 1.11.0 to 1.12.1.

Changelog

Sourced from parsel's changelog.

1.12.1 (2026-09-28)

* Fixed memory usage growing with every ``xpath()`` and ``css()`` call when
  using lxml 5.4.0 or later.
1.12.0 (2026-09-25)

• Added support for Python 3.15.
• When type is not specified, Selector now detects input as JSON only if it is a JSON object or array. Other valid JSON, such as 123 or "foo", is now handled as HTML. Pass type="json" to get the old behavior.
• An explicit type is now respected when the input or root is valid JSON. Before, type was ignored and the input was handled as JSON. As a result, selectors for text nodes and attribute values whose content is valid JSON, e.g. "1", now keep the type of their parent selector instead of "json".
• When type is not specified, body is now detected as JSON for any spelling of the UTF-8 encoding name, e.g. "UTF-8" or "utf8".
• When type is not specified, Selector now handles input that starts with an XML declaration (<?xml ...?>) as XML instead of HTML. Pass type="html" to get the old behavior.
• Fixed body handling for UTF-16 and other encodings that are not UTF-8: multi-byte characters are no longer garbled, and bytes that the encoding cannot decode are now replaced with U+FFFD instead of truncating the document.
• Fixed Selector raising XMLSyntaxError for an XML body that is empty after stripping whitespace and null bytes. It now gets the same empty root as the equivalent text.
• Improved performance by caching compiled XPath expressions.
• Additional keyword arguments of xpath() are now always used as XPath variables. Before, extensions and regexp were passed to lxml as evaluation options. To use custom XPath functions, register them with parsel.xpathfuncs.set_xpathfunc() instead.
• Fixed CSS-to-XPath translator instances being kept alive by a translation cache shared by all instances.
• xpath(".") now works on selectors for text nodes and attribute values, returning the selector itself instead of an empty list.
• jmespath() now works on selectors of type "text" and on selectors for text nodes and attribute values.
• Fixed the CSS ::attr() pseudo-element producing an invalid XPath expression for attribute names that are not valid XPath names, e.g. ::attr(foo\:bar).
• Fixed drop() on an XML selector also removing the tail text of the dropped element.
• Fixed drop() raising ValueError instead of CannotDropElementWithoutParent for the root element of an XML selector.
• Removed the lxml_version, lxml_huge_tree_version and
