win_xml type: attribute with state: absent not functioning as intended

[owadestig]

SUMMARY

win_xml remove attribute broken. Intended behavior:

- name: Remove attribute
  community.windows.win_xml:
    path: some_path
    xpath: /some/xpath/some_element
    state: absent
    type: attribute
    attribute: some_attribute

Should remove attribute some_attribute if the element some_element has it. Will reach else block in win_xml.ps1 starting on line 266. Here it fails the if statement if ($node.Name -eq $attribute ) . If statement should be if ($node.HasAttribute($attribute)) instead.
