Improve performance of is defined in non strict mode

Addresses issue #380: This gives a good performance improvement on defined tests in non-strict code. About 2x.

Reasoning: It doesn't make sense to propagate the `is_defined_test` flag into deeper levels in non-strict mode, because all getAttr functions and name accesses will just return `null` if it doesn't exist and `null` is just as good as `false`.

Though, do not merge yet please. Changes behavior concerning methods.

Hm, I really don't know what I was thinking when I wrote my last comment. There shouldn't be any behavior changes introduced by that change (and tests pass).
