 HTML API: Fix missing null-check in wp_kses_hair() refactor.

 When no attributes are present, `wp_kses_hair()` should return an empty
 array, but when the refactor was merged, the code assumed there would be
 attributes.

 An alternative fix is to use null-coalescing to iterate over an empty
 array. This would produce a marginally smaller function and read
 slightly more cleanly, but there’s no need to enter the `foreach` loop
 when it’s known in advance that there’s nothing over which to iterate.

 Developed in: https://github.com/WordPress/wordpress-develop/pull/10758
