[issue8264] hasattr doesn't show private (double underscore) attributes exist

Attached a patch that adds a note for getattr and setattr. hasattr is documented in terms of getattr so I would say it's not needed there.

I don't know if the interaction with private attributes is confusing enough that it's worth increasing the verbosity of the getattr and setattr docs, all in all I think I'm +0 to adding the note and -0 to just closing the bug as by design and no doc change needed.
