Fix handler aser keyword loss: re-serialize evaluated HTML elements

When handler bodies use (let ((rows (map ...))) (<> rows)), the let
binding evaluates the map via CEK, which converts :class keywords to
"class" strings. The aser fragment serializer then outputs "class" as
text content instead of :class as an HTML attribute.

Fix: add aser-reserialize function that detects string pairs in
evaluated element lists where the first string matches known HTML
attribute names (class, id, sx-*, data-*, style, href, src, type,
name, value, etc.) and restores them as :keyword syntax.

All 7 handler response tests now pass:
- bulk-update, delete-row, click-to-load, active-search
- form-submission, edit-row, tabs
