mdVirtualRepeat: does not respect md-on-demand boolean value

[vinaygopinath]

I'm using angular-material 1.0.4 and md-virtual-repeat does not seem to consider the value of md-on-demand when I use the following code (numbers is a plain old array)

<md-virtual-repeat-container id="list-container">
      <div md-virtual-repeat="num in numbers" md-on-demand="false">
        {{num}}
      </div>
</md-virtual-repeat-container>

I see this error:

Error: When md-on-demand is enabled, the Object passed to md-virtual-repeat
must implement functions getItemAtIndex() and getLength()

Plunkr

Removing the attribute solves the problem. I'd consider doing that, but in my case, I'm wrapping md-virtual-repeat within a directive that determines if the list is paginated (md-on-demand=true), or a bulk array of elements (md-on-demand=false, like the vertical usage example in the demo page) based on some factors.

@vinaygopinath Yes, that's because we only check if the attribute exists (See here). I would like to submit a PR, when #6803 is merged, because it adds a new util method for validating boolean attributes (using the string attributes).

Combined that into #6803

I still entercounter this problem? I have the latest version of angular-material (1.1.3), but in my case is the boolean an variable setted in the controller which is updating.
