Fails to build against libxml 2.12.0

I'd guess it has to do with the recent libxml 2.12.0 update, but I haven't confirmed by building against an older version.

Steps to reproduce:

• build inkscape 1.3.1

What happened?

 C:/_/B/src/inkscape-1.3.1/src/object/uri.cpp: In constructor 'Inkscape::URI::URI(const gchar*, const char*)':
  C:/_/B/src/inkscape-1.3.1/src/object/uri.cpp:86:9: error: 'xmlFree' was not declared in this scope; did you mean 'xmlFreeURI'?

    292 |         xmlFree(saveuri);
        |         ^~~~~~~
        |         xmlFreeURI

What should have happened?
