[Issue] Fix issues with Customer Data when form contains element with name `method`

This issue is automatically created based on existing pull request: #38449: Fix issues with Customer Data when form contains element with name method

---

Description (*)

The path to verify <form method=""> value in customer-data.js (Magento_Customer) is glitchy and when there's an element with name="method" in the submitted form, the event.target.method refers to element, not attribute.

Please create one.

Manual testing scenarios (*)

1. Open any form (e.g. Customer Registration form),
2. Open Browser console and replace name="" of any element (e.g. "Remember me") to name="method".
3. Set breakpoint at customer-data.min.js line after $(document).on('submit', function(event) {.
4. Expect that if () section (1 line below) uses <form method=""> - not just created element.

Hello @lbajsarowicz,

Thank you for the report and collaboration!

Verified this issue on 2.4-develop.
If a form element has name as "method", the customer-data.js will refer that element and not the <form method="">.
Hence confirming this issue.

Thank you.
