To formalize they are now XML-compliant (with some asterisks.)
Also to help syntax highlighters work on them to make their content more
readable.
Also:
- Delete empty comment decorations.
- GHA/checksrc: simplify XML check.
- runtests: fail to load test data with XML prolog missing.

There are 58 non-compliant files. Mark them with the `notxml` keyword.
Also include the compliant ones in the GHA/checksrc xmllint CI job.
Also:
- delete XML prolog from the 3 test data files that had them.
- FILEFORMAT.md: document the `notxml` keyword.
- FILEFORMAT.md: fix a typo.

The new style is
name[0-99]=contents
and
name[0-99]@filename
A) This does not cause the same problems with old curl versions trying
the new syntax as this way will cause old curls just fail with syntax
error and not risk using the wrong file.
B) Adds the same byte range support for "normal" assigns, which the
previous syntax did not. Thus lets a user get a partial content of a
variable etc.
Added test 790 and 791 to verify non-file assigns with ranges.
Closes#15862
Allowing --variable read a portion of provided files, makes curl work on
partial files for any options that accepts strings. Like --data and others.
The byte offset is provided within brackets, with a semicolon separator
like: --variable name@file;[100-200]"
