Checks if an attribute name in the MaciDataObj is a parent mapped with children, and returns a bool.

data.is_parent_map() -> bool

Basic Example checking if an attribute name is a parent in the MaciDataObj

result = data.is_parent_map('attr1')

In this example, we simply use the is_parent_map method on the MaciDataObj to get a boolean check if the attribute name passed into the parameter is a parent mapped with children, and assign the returned bool to a variable.
