fix FreshRSS/FreshRSS#7807
We had a risk of hitting Backtrack limit was exhausted in case of open XML comment <!-- not closed and followed by a very long document.
Fixed by:

  • Limiting the max length of the comment
  • Stopping at an apparent end of CDATA section ]]> as it is likely an error

It does not matter much if there are rare cases when the regex does not work perfectly, as it is only used for a cache hint.
