Add a regression test for namespace tokens larger than 1024 bytes.

If an AddressSanitizer test does not already exist outside this cohort, add one that exercises both long prefixes and long URLs through EXTRACTVALUE or XMLQUERY. Verify successful namespace registration and the absence of heap-buffer-overflow errors.

- 565, Add a regression test covering namespace tokens exceeding 1024 bytes,
exercising both an oversized prefix and URL through EXTRACTVALUE or XMLQUERY.
Verify namespace registration succeeds and the test completes without
heap-buffer-overflow errors, reusing the existing AddressSanitizer test setup if
available.
