Subject: [PATCH 46/51] Refactor XMLTokener.unescapeEntity() to reduce
 complexity

Extracted hex and decimal parsing logic into separate methods to
address SonarQube complexity warning:
- parseHexEntity(): handles ઼ format
- parseDecimalEntity(): handles { format

This reduces cyclomatic complexity while maintaining identical
functionality and all validation checks.

Subject: [PATCH 47/51] Add unit tests for XMLTokener.unescapeEntity() input
 validation

Added comprehensive test coverage for numeric character reference parsing:

Exception cases (should throw JSONException):
- Empty numeric entity: &#;
- Invalid decimal entity: &#txx;
- Empty hex entity: &#x;
- Invalid hex characters: &#xGGG;

Valid cases (should parse correctly):
- Decimal entity: A -> 'A'
- Lowercase hex entity: A -> 'A'
- Uppercase hex entity: A -> 'A'

These tests verify the fixes for issues #1035 and #1036.

Subject: [PATCH 48/51] Add unit tests for JSONML ClassCastException fix

Added comprehensive test coverage for safe type casting:

Exception cases (should throw JSONException, not ClassCastException):
- Malformed XML causing type mismatch in toJSONArray()
- Type mismatch in toJSONObject()

Valid cases (should continue to work):
- Valid XML to JSONArray conversion
- Valid XML to JSONObject conversion

These tests verify the fix for issue #1034 where ClassCastException
was thrown when parse() returned unexpected types.
