    Stop checking attributes for UTF-8 validity

I can't see a reason to check attribute content for UTF-8 validity.
Other parts of the API like xmlNewText have always assumed valid UTF-8
as extra checks only slow down processing.

Besides, setting doc->encoding to "ISO-8859-1" seems pointless, and not
freeing the old encoding would cause a memory leak.

Note that this was last changed in 2008 with commit 6f8611fd which
removed unnecessary encoding/decoding steps. Setting attributes should
be even faster now.

Found by OSS-Fuzz.

To build on an Unixised setup:
   ./configure ; make ; make install
   if the ./configure file does not exist, run ./autogen.sh instead.
To build on Windows:
   see instructions on win32/Readme.txt

To assert build quality:
   on an Unixised setup:
      run make tests
   otherwise:
       There is 3 standalone tools runtest.c runsuite.c testapi.c, which
       should compile as part of the build or as any application would.
       Launch them from this directory to get results, runtest checks 
       the proper functioning of libxml2 main APIs while testapi does
       a full coverage check. Report failures to the list.

To report bugs, follow the instructions at:
