Summary: Make func_name writable

Initial Comment:
This was pretty easy: just copypasteandchange the code
for func_code :-)  I only allow func_name (or __name__)
to be set to a string.

Adds some simple tests.

I've corrected the one place in the docs that seems to
claim func_name is read only, but the docs for which
function attributes are or aren't read-only don't seem
to be especially accurate already.

Should we require that the new function name is a valid
identifier? If not, is an empty string an acceptable
function name? Also, are string subtypes allowed?

There should be \versionchanged in the documentation.

Looks good.  Less important in the current context, but for
any of the
attributes which are writable should there be PyFunction_Set
methods
available to help enforce desired behavior (not allowing
non-string
objects for function names for example)?
