Bug #2509: Deprecating the .data property of the Seq and MutableSeq objects

----------------------------------------
In anticipation that the Seq and MutableSeq objects will eventually subclass the python string, their data property is not needed and confusing.  The following patch will replace it with a new-class style property methods and a docstring declaring it to be deprecated.

In the case of the Seq object, the sequence should be read only but the user can currently modify the data property in place.

In the case of the MutableSeq, the fact that it is internally an array of characters should be a private implementation detail.
