docs(antilopay): document XSS invariant on setAttribute('content', ...)

Browse Source 
Security reviewer flagged that the safety of injecting payment-provider
verification tokens into <meta content=...> rests entirely on the use
of Element.setAttribute() (plain-string attribute, browser does not
parse as HTML). A future contributor switching to innerHTML or template-
string concatenation into <head> would turn this hook into an XSS sink.
Add a comment that calls this out explicitly so the invariant survives
maintenance.
