Link.set_border gives TypeError: '<' not supported between instances of 'NoneType' and 'int'

Description of the bug

When setting the border of links I get the following error:

max@merry ~/github/zotlinksToPdfs                                                    [14:05:18]

How to reproduce the bug

The minimal example to reproduce the bug is

import fitz  # PyMuPDF

print(fitz.__version__)


doc = fitz.open("test.pdf")

for page_num in range(len(doc)):
    page = doc.load_page(page_num)
    
    link = page.load_links()
    while link is not None:
        link.set_border({'width': 1.0, 'dashes': [], 'style': "S"})
        link = link.next

doc.close()

Thanks for your efforts and the great tool.

As a workaround I added a check for nclouds is not None and in my local version, but I am not sure if this makes sense in general.
