fix(xmp): Correctly parse XMP with self-closing elements (AcademySoftwareFoundation#5106)

decode_xmp() only searched for `</rdf:Description>` end tags, so
self-closing `<rdf:Description ... />` elements (valid XML) were
silently skipped. Now detect both `/>` and `</rdf:Description>` endings,
plus simplify quite a bit generally, by rewriting decode_xmp to use
pugixml more thoroughly to do the whole parse job instead of trying to
hunt for tags ourselves.

Fixes AcademySoftwareFoundation#5021
