[MNG-4644] Misplaced text contents in root element of POM is not rejected by parser

Description

The POM below is invalid

<project>
  <modelVersion>4.0.0</modelVersion>

  <groupId>org.apache.maven.its.mng</groupId>
  <artifactId>test</artifactId>
  This text shouldn't have been allowed...
  <version>0.1</version>
</project>

yet it's happily parsed/installed/deployed by many Maven versions. Despite using strict mode for the parser (see also MNG-3645), a subtle bug in the Modello generated XPP3 parser makes it accept misplaced text within the root element (whereas it's properly rejected in other elements).
