[docs] [issue9666] 'hasattr' fix to suppress only AttributeError

[Yury Selivanov]

New submission from Yury Selivanov <yselivanov at gmail.com>:

As discussed on python-dev mailing list (http://mail.python.org/pipermail/python-dev/2010-August/103178.html), 'hasattr' default behaviour should be changed to suppress only AttributeError exceptions.  Other should pass through.

The fix, however, shouldn't change behaviour of existing C API, functions PyObject_HasAttr and PyObject_HasAttrString in particular.

I'm targeting this issue on Python 3.2 version, but probably it may be introduced in the next Python 3.1 maintenance release.
