Issue Description

XML includes chinese tag will throws lxml.etree.XMLSyntaxError,
because pandas.io.xml include the code:
self.xml_doc = XML(self._parse_doc(self.path_or_buffer))
_prase_doc use lxml parse xml file, then pass it into lxml.tostring to return bytes as following:

b'<&#20013;&#25991;&#27161;&#31844;><row><c1>1</c1><c2>2</c2></row></&#20013;&#25991;&#27161;&#31844;>'
