BGE Python API

Use 'const char *' rather then the C++ 'STR_String' type for the attribute identifier of python attributes.

Each attribute and method access from python was allocating and freeing the string.
A simple test with getting an attribute a loop shows this speeds up attribute lookups a bit over 2x.
