Returns a value indicating whether a property can be read.

A property can be read if:

- the class has a getter method associated with the specified name
(in this case, property name is case-insensitive);
- the class has a member variable with the specified name (when `$checkVars` is true);
- an attached behavior has a readable property of the given name (when `$checkBehaviors` is true).

@param string $name the property name
@param bool $checkVars whether to treat member variables as properties
@param bool $checkBehaviors whether to treat behaviors' properties as properties of this component
@return bool whether the property can be read
