Subject: [PATCH] python: Do not decref string after adding to the list

The python API PyList_SetItem function "steals" a reference to item, so
we don't need to call Py_DECREF here.

https://docs.python.org/3.13/c-api/list.html#c.PyList_SetItem

Fix https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/libxml2/-/issues/1076
