Require at least the same expat version as used during the build

Browse source 
The versioned requirement is no longer valid -
this happens again now with expat 2.7.2 introducing new symbols.

Make the versioned requirement future-proof - the generated version will always
match at least the one present in the buildroot during the Python build.
