Before GDAL 3.12 this file

https://github.com/mmomtchev/node-gdal-async/blob/main/test/data/shp/sample.shp

did not have a projection. With 3.12, it returns a valid projection.

The projection is obtained with GetProjectionRef() and then 
importFromWkt() to construct the object.

I don't see anything in the changelog that explains it, is this expected?
