Underscores in the start of the attribute name cause them to be removed #355

Description

@SlickDomique

HTML5 specification is not disallowing special characters to be the start of the attribute name but java-html-sanitizer removes any attribute that has a name that starts with a different character than letters. This can't be bypassed by the .allowAttributes('__foo').

According to the HTML standard "before attribute name state" underscores (and many other characters) should be added to the beginning of the new attribute name https://html.spec.whatwg.org/#before-attribute-name-state

This creates problems for functionalities of react/lexical editor that defaults to double underscore as the prefix for their attributes names https://lexical.dev/docs/concepts/nodes#node-properties
