getAttribute("archive") returns 1 if the attribute is set, and 0 otherwise.
Allow to query and to set all properties by not specifying an attribute
string: getAttribute() returns all attributes bit coded in an integer,
and setAttribute(attr) sets all attributes. No assumptions may be made
about the meaning of the bits -- they can be changed in future fgfs releases.
The only valid use is to compare or set attribute numbers obtained in the
same fgfs run. This is meant for allowing full copies of property branches.
Also add getAttribute query strings "children" for the number of children,
and "alias".
value on a property. This becomes a NaN when converted to a numeric
value, which then percolated into the C++ world where it ultimately
caused a crash in YASim's turbulence code. While converting nil to
NaN isn't *strictly* wrong, it's dangerous for this reason. Toss a
Nasal exception instead. Hopefully this won't break too much
preexisting code.

Forward sg's error message to the Nasal runtime error function instead, so
you get something like:
Nasal runtime error: name must begin with alpha or '_'

Unfortunately, the location points to the line where the ghost wrapper
sits, rather than the offending script line.
scripts) to create dialogs at runtime. Augment "dialog-close" to take
a name argument, allowing code other than PUI callbacks to close
dialogs.
The changes to the GUI directory to enable this are actually minor,
basically amounting to using SGPropertyNode_ptr reference counting
(the GUI subsystem no longer "controls" the dialog property trees, so
it can't delete them).
