Title: modify valAttr setter, to allow external scripts to set element validati...

...ons

allows ext javascript to set validation attributes using:

$("[name='group_id[]']:eq(0)")
.valAttr('','validate-checkbox-group')
.valAttr('qty','1-2')
.valAttr('error-msg','chose 1, max 2')
;

this is useful when dealing with a group of checkboxes generated from server-side script, and you don't need validation on all the items, just he first one. an example will be forthcoming in my next patch that adds "checkbox-group" to the validation library.

existing code base would append dash / hyphen to "data-validation" attribute, thereby rendering that attribute incorrectly, forcing need to use full jQ statement " .attr(n,v) "method.
