md-text-area placeholder issue

[easyt]

Hey Daniel,

There is a small issue when using the md-text-area with md-placeholder. The code fails at the following location:

this.input.setAttribute('placeholder', this.mdPlaceholder);

this.input is undefined. The reason for this is the binding in the md-input template: if.bind="mdTextArea === true" since it requires a boolean value.

Initially, if we use the following:
<md-input md-label="Description" md-placeholder="Enter a description" md-text-area="true"></md-input>

The md-text-area="true" is evaluated to a true string and not a boolean.

If I use the following:
<md-input md-label="Description" md-placeholder="Enter a description" md-text-area.one-time="true"></md-input>

It works because the one-time binding is evaluating the true to a boolean value.

You might try moving the following line from the attached to the bind method of the md-input custom element:

this.mdTextArea = getBooleanFromAttributeValue(this.mdTextArea);

Great bug report, thanks! 😄
It's interesting though, that it seems to work in the sample.

If you like, you can also issue a PR and I will merge it.
