junos_facts fails for Junos Evo devices

[DCAuto]

SUMMARY

When running the junos_facts module on devices with Junos Evo installed, I receive the following message:

"module_stderr": "b'xmlParseEntityRef: no name, line 89, column 44 (, line 89)'"

The line of the message is different on each switch but all of my Junos Evo switches are failing
