gh-109230: test_pyexpat no longer depends on the current directory

Fix test_pyexpat.test_exception(): it can now be run from a directory
different than Python source code directory. Before, the test failed
in this case.

Skip the test if Modules/pyexpat.c source is not available. Skip also
the test on Python implementations other than CPython.
