Added pickle'able attributes. The attribute.get_attr(), object.set_attribute and object.get_attribute_value() have been updated to accept and return values of any type. If the value is a string, it will be stored normally, other types will be pickled. Possibly we could choose to save also single numbers as strings, but not sure it's any faster to convert from string than it is from cPickle ...

To use these, you need to either start over with a fresh database or change the changed fields manually.
