encoding/xml: Return SyntaxError for unmatched root start elements.

Currently, the xml.Decoder's Token routine returns successfully for
XML input that does not properly close root start elements (and any
unclosed descendants). For example, all the following inputs

    <root>
    <root><foo>
    <root><foo></foo>

cause Token to return with nil and io.EOF, indicating a successful
parse.

This change fixes that. It leaves the semantics of RawToken intact.

Fixes #11405
