Fix sphinx-doc#8655: autodoc: Crashes when object raises an exception…

… on hasattr()

autodoc crashes when the target object raises an exception on
`hasattr()`.  The `hasattr()` function internally calls the
`obj.__getattr__()` or `obj.__getattribute__()` of the target object.
Hence the reaction can be changed on the target object.

Is starts to use `safe_getattr()` to check the object is mocked or not
and to prevent the unexpected errors.
