ext/dom: fix UAF when setting an attribute colliding by local name.
Fix #22447
xmlHasProp() matches an attribute by local name only, ignoring its
namespace, whereas xmlAddChild()/xmlAddPrevSibling() dedup an incoming
no-namespace attribute via xmlHasNsProp(..., NULL), which matches only
attributes with no namespace. When both a no-namespace and a namespaced
attribute share a local name, the pre-insertion check unlinked the wrong
(namespaced) attribute, leaving libxml to free the still-wrapped
no-namespace duplicate and producing a use-after-free at request
shutdown.
Use xmlHasNsProp(..., NULL) so the pre-insertion check matches libxml's
internal duplicate detection, as advised by @nwellnhof.
