Improve model attribute accessor method names for backtraces

Ruby uses the original method name, so will show the __temp__ method
name in the backtrace. However, in the common case the method name
is compatible with the `def` keyword, so we can avoid the __temp__
method name in that case to improve the name shown in backtraces
or TracePoint#method_id.
