better synonym support

[GoogleCodeExporter]

FA manages synonyms on it's own way, using the original Column name.

Using the synonymed attribute name would make things easier for user.
One plus side is that setters/getters would actually be triggered.

that is not what I see (and the test confirms).  if what you were saying in the 
case
then we would see _foo in the .fields.

If you have a case where it does break please include it.

class Synonym(Base):
    __tablename__ = 'synonyms'
    id = Column(Integer, primary_key=True)
    _foo = Column(Text, nullable=True)
    def _set_foo(self, foo):
        self._foo = "SOMEFOO " + foo
    def _get_foo(self):
        return self._foo
    foo = synonym('_foo', descriptor=property(_get_foo, _set_foo))

>>> fs_s = FieldSet(Synonym)
>>> fs_s._fields
{'foo': AttributeField(foo), 'id': AttributeField(id)}

guess I should be more specific,

self.field.name still includes the old non-decorated field value (if there 
isn't any
second storage for the field name), it would be useful to use synonym also
internally. It would make customizing FA easier.
