DEPS: Lazy import `defusedxml` only when necessary (#12362)
The `defusedxml` dependency was added to `sphinx.testing` in sphinx 7.3,
but it is not part of the core sphinx dependencies, and not strictly necessary for the running of the pytest plugin.
This commit moves the import into the only function which uses it,
so that the pytest plugins can be used again without this dependency.

**Sphinx makes it easy to create intelligent and beautiful documentation.**

Sphinx uses reStructuredText as its markup language, and many of its strengths
come from the power and straightforwardness of reStructuredText and its parsing
and translating suite, the Docutils.

Features
========

* **Output formats**: HTML, PDF, plain text, EPUB, TeX, manual pages, and more
* **Extensive cross-references**: semantic markup and automatic links
  for functions, classes, glossary terms and similar pieces of information
* **Hierarchical structure**: easy definition of a document tree, with automatic
  links to siblings, parents and children
* **Automatic indices**: general index as well as a module index
* **Code highlighting**: automatic highlighting using the Pygments highlighter
* **Templating**: Flexible HTML output using the Jinja 2 templating engine
* **Extension ecosystem**: Many extensions are available, for example for
  automatic function documentation or working with Jupyter notebooks.
* **Language Support**: Python, C, C++, JavaScript, mathematics, and many other
  languages through extensions.
