New description:
The model fields use, by default, the descriptor **DeferredAttribute** to
access and process (if necessary) the data associated with them. This type
of data represents the actual data in db column. I prefer to call it a
“field data”.
To access the field data in instance dict, **Field.attname** is used as a
key.
In addition to the field data, some other model fields (for example,
ForeignKey) also use a "client data" of the attribute, the processing of
which is performed by a particular descriptor. Such a descriptor is
assigned to a model using **Field.name**. Its task is to present the same
field data in a different format, the result of which differs from the
result of Field.attname descriptor: `article.author` returns a User
object, and `article.auther_id` returns a User object pk.
This feature is not used in FileField. Then why use FileField.name instead
of FileField.attname for FileDescriptor?
I think it would be better if FileDescriptor uses FileField.attname and
continue working with the DeferredAttribute class.
