Correct ntfs_test test failures around attempting to validate attribute list entries as attributes. The NTFS code uses common logic in some places to parse both attributes and attribute_lists which complicates validation. Attribute lists contain different headers including a different size of the length field (2 bytes) at offset 4 instead of the 4 byte length field used in attributes at offset 4. There are other differences as well, but attempting to validate attribute list types using attribute header validation was causing failure of the NTFS test suite. This change restores some of the validation logic which may be shared between attributes and attribute lists to be closer to the original logic prior to fixes for previous CVEs. A following commit will address some of the implications of removing this validation logic by correcting some fuzzer failures (some which are exposed by removing the validation in some of the cases).
