The HTML spec defines boolean attributes: https://html.spec.whatwg.org/#boolean-attributes that often correlate with boolean properties. If the attribute is missing, it correlates with the `false` property value, if it's present - the `true` property value. The only valid values are an empty string or the attribute name. jQuery tried to be helpful here and treated boolean attributes in a special way in the `.attr()` API: 1. For the getter, as long as the attribute was present, it was returning the attribute name lowercased, ignoring the value. 2. For the setter, it was removing the attribute when `false` was passed; otherwise, it was ignoring the passed value and set the attribute - interestingly, in jQuery `>=3` not lowercased anymore. The problem is the spec occasionally converts boolean attributes into ones with additional attribute values with special behavior - one such example is the new `"until-found"` value for the `hidden` attribute. Our setter normalization means passing those values is impossible with jQuery. Also, new boolean attributes are introduced occasionally and jQuery cannot easily add them to the list without incurring breaking changes. This patch removes any special handling of boolean attributes - the getter returns the value as-is and the setter sets the provided value. To provide better backwards compatibility with the very frequent `false` value provided to remove the attribute, this patch makes `false` trigger attribute removal for ALL non-ARIA attributes. ARIA attributes are exempt from the rule since many of them recognize `"false"` as a valid value with semantics different than the attribute missing. To remove an ARIA attribute, use `.removeAttr()` or pass `null` as the value to `.attr()` which doesn't have this exception.
