35236	Access Field.attname and Field.column directly	Adam Johnson	nobody	"Many field references call `Field.get_attname_column()` or `Field.get_attname()`, despite the `attname` and `column` attributes containing the computed results (after `contribute_to_class()`). Updating those call sites to plain attribute access eliminates some function calls, a worthy small speedup.

From a profile of system checks on a smaller project, there were ~1k calls for various versions of each method:
