  • Adds dynamic property to automatically convert SBStructuredData
    instances to the associated Python type (str, int, float, bool,
    NoneType, etc)
  • Implements __getitem__ for Pythonic array and dictionary
    subscripting
    • Subscripting return the result of the dynamic property
  • Updates __iter__ to support dictionary instances (supporting for
    loops)
  • Adds __str__, __int__, and __float__

With these changes, these two expressions are equal:

data["name"] == data.GetValueForKey("name").GetStringValue(1024)

Note: Unlike the original commit (#155061), this re-commit removes the __bool__ implementation, which broke crashlog. Somewhere in the crashlog execution, it depends on __bool__ meaning only IsValid().

Additionally did some cleanup in TestStructuredDataAPI.py.

* Adds `dynamic` property to automatically convert `SBStructuredData`
instances to the associated Python type (`str`, `int`, `float`, `bool`,
`NoneType`, etc)
* Implements `__getitem__` for Pythonic array and dictionary
subscripting
  * Subscripting return the result of the `dynamic` property
* Updates `__iter__` to support dictionary instances (supporting `for`
loops)
* Adds `__str__`, `__int__`, and `__float__`

With these changes, these two expressions are equal:

```py
data["name"] == data.GetValueForKey("name").GetStringValue(1024)
```

Additionally did some cleanup in TestStructuredDataAPI.py.
