Added support for both 'href' and the deprecated value 'xlink:href'

Added support for both 'href' attribute since 'xlink:href' is deprecated since SVG 2 (https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/SVG/Attribute/xlink:href) according to W3C guidelines: "For backwards compatibility, elements with an ‘href’ attribute also recognize an ‘href’ attribute in the XLink namespace"(https://svgwg.org/svg2-draft/linking.html#XLinkRefAttrs).

'xlink:href' is deprecated since SVG 2 indeed, however SVG 2 still doesn't have a Recommendation status and unfortunately, it doesn't look like it will get a one in the near future. For now, the most up-to-date version of SVG is still SVG 1.1 2nd Edition which is why it is used here

That makes sense, adding them both seems to be the solution (for now..) according to W3C guidelines.
