xwidget-at assumes the text-property at `point-min` either doesn't 
exist or is an xwidget, and can improperly access fields. This 
patch just returns nil if the text-property isn't an xwidget.

This is definitely an edge case; I use a package called org-modern 
where headlines are formatted with text-properties, which is how I 
found the bug:
Debugger entered--Lisp error: (wrong-type-argument listp #("◉" 0 1 
(face org-modern-symbol)))
  xwidget-at(1)
  xwidget-webkit-current-session()

Subject: [PATCH] xwidget: Fix xwidget-at misinterpreting non-xwidget
 text-properties

xwidget-open wrongly assumes the the text-property at min-position is an
xwidget, if it exists; the fix is just returning nil if the
text-property isn't an xwidget.
