Bug description:

autofocus only checks for the existence of the attribute, not the value of the attribute. i.e. these all produce the same result... autofocus="" or autofocus="true" or autofocus="false"

I am using formly to generate the ui-select fields and each field gets the autofocus attribute, some blank, one true.

current code is

        if (angular.isDefined(attrs.autofocus)){
          $timeout(function(){
            $select.setFocus();
          });
        }

I think the below is what code should be, not sure if it would be a breaking change.

        if (angular.isDefined(attrs.autofocus) && $parse(attrs.autofocus)()){
          $timeout(function(){
            $select.setFocus();
          });
        }

Version of Angular, UI-Select, and Bootstrap/Select2/Selectize CSS

Angular: 1,5.8

UI-Select: 0.19.5

Bootstrap/Select2/Selectize CSS (if applicable): 3.2

What's the status of this issue? I very much would like to have this functionality as well. Now, it simply ignores the attribute value.
