CONTRACT: codingcontract.attempt always returns a string (#231)
* ns.codingcontract always returns a string (reward on success, empty on fail), simplifying usage and documentation of function.
* Because of the above, return value still works when used as a boolean, as long as no direct equality comparison to true/false.
* Documentation expanded and examples added.
