PR #425 removed the bool operator from attribute accessors.  This is
likely in use by existing code as it was the only way before #425 added
the `hasattr` function to check for the existence of an attribute, via:

    if (obj.attr("foo")) { ... }

This commit adds it back in for attr and item accessors, but with a
deprecation warning to use `hasattr(obj, ...)` or `obj.contains(...)`
instead.
