Class-File API usually expose names in a form of `java.lang.classfile.constantpool.Utf8Entry`. Unfortunately `java.lang.classfile.Attribute::attributeName` method was omitted during the API review and it returns inflated `String` value of the name.

This patch changes return type of `java.lang.classfile.Attribute::attributeName` from `String` to `java.lang.classfile.constantpool.Utf8Entry`.

Please review.

Thanks,
Adam
