Feature #16451: Special terniary operators for methods ending in `?`

**Feature proposal**

When a method ends in `?` we should be able to skip the `?` in the ternary operator

So for example you'd be able to do

`question_method? true_statement : false_statement`

This shouldn't interfere with implementations as currently this fails to parse.

```
def normal_method
  true
end
```

```
def question_method?
  false
end
```

Ternary operator:

```
question_method? 'was true' : 'was false'
=> 'was false'

normal_method? 'was true' : 'was false'
=> method not found normal_method?

normal_method ? 'was true' : 'was false'
=> 'was true'
```

and finally to preserve currently compatibility

```
question_method? ? 'was true' : 'was false'
=> 'was true'
```
