[issue2903] Add __name__ in globals of generated namedtuple namespace

New submission from Guillaume Knispel <gknispel at proformatique.com>:

Some 3rd party tracers rely on frame.f_globals["__name__"] to be set to
the module name that contains the code currently executed.
frame.f_globals["__name__"] is not defined when some code has been
generated with exec, which is the way namedtuples are created.

The attached patch set __name__ to '__generated_%s__' % typename in the
generated namespace, which is quite handy to see where the code comes
from. Indeed if sys._getframe is available it sets __name__ to
'__generated_%s__%s__' % (typename, result.__module__) which is even
more useful.
