Bumping fast-xml-parser to 4.x is not straightforward, as API has changed along with some options and protocol tests are failing.

For future reference, the commits can be picked from attempt:

• smithy-ts Bump fast-xml-parser to 4.0.10 smithy-lang/smithy-typescript#594
• aws-sdk-js-v3 chore(deps-dev): bump fast-xml-parser to 4.0.10 #3989
