formal setters

Release Notes:

Details: Implemented contributor Gregory Denson's
    suggested fix for the bug.  Removed setMaxlength
    and setPattern methods (since we're no longer
    using setFoo() syntax) and replaced them with
    setters for maxlength and pattern attributes.

Tests: Run the following in DHTML and SWF:

<canvas width="500" height="300">
    <simplelayout axis="y"/>
    <edittext name="foo" maxlength="50" width="300" height="200" 
multiline="true"/>
    <button onclick="Debug.write(canvas.foo.maxlength); 
canvas.foo.setAttribute('maxlength', 100); 
Debug.write(canvas.foo.maxlength)"/>
    <button onclick="Debug.write(canvas.foo.pattern); 
canvas.foo.setAttribute('pattern', '[a-z]*'); 
Debug.write(canvas.foo.pattern)"/>
</canvas>

Type into the field until you reach the limit.
Click the first button, and note the changed
values in the debugger.  Type into the field
some more.  It behaves as expected.  Click the
second button.  Type into the field.  Try
using numbers and upper-case letters.  It
should behave as expected.
