Qute unable to find template extension methods with @TemplateAttribute annotation
### Describe the bug

I have updated my Quarkus app from 2.3.1.Final to 2.5.0.Final. Since then, Qute Template Extension no longer recognizes methods marked with an @TemplateAttribute annotation and throws the following error when launching from the app. I can confirm that the error happens from version 2.4.0.Final.

I have built a small project with which the error can be reproduced: https://github.com/andlinger/quarkus-qute-namespace

In the [Extensions](https://github.com/andlinger/quarkus-qute-namespace/blob/main/quarkus/src/main/java/io/i15s/quarkus/namespace/Extensions.java) class you can find two methods. `formatCountryEnglish` works perfectly. As soon as `formatCountry` is used, Quarkus produces the exception attached below.

```
