Title: Rename update_attributes method to update

Rename update_attributes to update, keep update_attributes as an alias for update method. This is a soft-deprecation for update_attributes, although it will still work without any deprecation message in 4.0 is recommended to start using update since update_attributes will be deprecated and removed in future versions of Rails.
