Fix funny types used in attribute value representation

It was bothering me a lot that I abused small integer values
casted to (void *) to represent non string values in
gitattributes.  This corrects it by making the type of attribute
values (const char *), and using the address of a few statically
allocated character buffer to denote true/false.  Unset attributes
are represented as having NULLs as their values.

Added in-header documentation to explain how git_checkattr()
routine should be called.
