Description

The Attribute.attributes is completely useless.
Probably it was introduced to manage attribute override, but it was superseded by AttributeContext.
All the related code must be removed.

The related code includes the "attribute dependency resolution", since it does two things:
1. fill the Attribute.attributes map;
2. if the attribute is a definition and its type is null, sets the type to DEFINITION (already done by BasicTilesContainer).
