Harden usage of XML document builder in build-conventions (#106874)

While `LicenseHeadersTask` only uses `DocumentBuilderFactory` internally
to parse `rat.xml` files (which are the output of running Apache RAT on
Elasticsearch codebase files), it is a good practice to disable XXE
features even if it's part of checks that are run on developers
machines.
