RFR: 8373727: New XBM images parser regression: only the first line of the bitmap array is parsed

There were three concerns with the previous changes to `XbmImageDecoder`.
1. Only the first line of the bit array was read.
2. The regex was incorrect because it used `[]` instead of `()` for some grouping.
3. The ordering of the width and height in the xbm file was too strict and had to be width first, then height.

To fix these issues, I have:
1. Used a StringBuilder to append lines of the bit array to parse the entire array at once.
2. Updated the regex to capture starting whitespace, optionally start with `0x`, include all chars/digits/punctuation (minus `,` and `};`) instead of just valid hex digits, and end with either `,` or `};`. This also allows for incorrect hex values such as `0x12345abcde` to be detected since the new regex allows for multiple chars after the `0x` until the next delimiter is found. This is accounted for in the test xbm files.
3. Determined width or height based off of ending letters (`th` or `t`). This is similar to https://github.com/openjdk/jdk/blob/jdk-26+10/src/java.desktop/share/classes/sun/awt/image/XbmImageDecoder.java#L109-L112.

A new method is added to `XBMDecoderTest.java` to better check that the bit array parsing works. This method checks for non-empty pixel data.

A new xbm file is also added to check for the case where `0xAB+` exists in the bit array. This should be invalid, and the previous regex would allow this to pass. 

All tests pass with the new changes made here.
