Subject: [PATCH] fix: improve XML auto-fix from 58.7% to 99% fix rate

Key improvements:
- Reorder CDATA removal to run before text-before-root check (+35 cases)
- Implement Gemini's backslash-quote fix with regex backreference
  Handles attr="value", value="text\"inner\"more", and mixed patterns
- Add aggressive drop-broken-cells fix for unfixable mxCell elements
  Iteratively removes cells causing DOM parse errors (up to 50)

Results on 9,411 XML dataset:
- 206 invalid XMLs detected
- 204 successfully fixed (99.0% fix rate)
- 2 unfixable (completely broken, need regeneration)
