Description
### Search before asking
- [X] I searched in the [issues](https://github.com/apache/iotdb/issues) and found nothing similar.
### Version
1.3 release
### Describe the bug and provide the minimal reproduce step
If a same name is used for TAGS and ATTRIBUTES, the DROP clause doesn't know to discriminate them.
```
ALTER timeseries root.turbine.d1.s1 ADD TAGS meta1=tag_value
ALTER timeseries root.turbine.d1.s1 ADD ATTRIBUTES meta1=attr_value
ALTER timeseries root.turbine.d1.s1 DROP meta1
ALTER timeseries root.turbine.d1.s1 DROP meta1
```
### What did you expect to see?
DROP should accept a TAGS/ATTRIBUTES specifier (as the others clauses, ADD/UPSERT)
### What did you see instead?
IoTDB seems to drop the TAGS at 1th call. The second call removes the attribute
### Anything else?
The SET or RENAME clauses exhibit same behavior
### Are you willing to submit a PR?
- [ ] I'm willing to submit a PR!
Contributor guide
Research direction
Start by reproducing the ALTER timeseries sequence from the issue, including the same-name TAGS and ATTRIBUTES and the related SET and RENAME cases. Trace the ALTER timeseries handling for DROP, SET, and RENAME, then add regression coverage showing that explicit TAGS or ATTRIBUTES selection removes only the requested metadata.
