Since version 2.27.0 (#4198), the external subset and other external entities in Log4j 1 XML configuration files are resolved through `ConfigurationSource`, so they can only be retrieved from locations allowed by the `log4j2.configurationAllowedProtocols` property. Document this in the migration guide and in the Javadoc of the bridge `XmlConfiguration`.

This is documentation only, so I wouldn't add any changelog. For me a changelog is necessary, so users can rapidly find a change that might have broken their application. In this case, no code changes are present. |

Documents the behavior introduced by #4198, which first ships in
2.27.0: the external subset and other external entities in Log4j 1 XML configuration files are resolved throughConfigurationSource, so they can only be retrieved from locations allowed by thelog4j2.configurationAllowedProtocolsproperty. Adds a note to the migration guide and a paragraph to the Javadoc of the bridgeXmlConfiguration.Kept separate from #4264 so that the documentation of unreleased behavior can be merged (or held back) independently. After #4264 merges, the base can be retargeted to
